I thought that after ushering in 2012 in a quiet way with my wife, my brother-in-law (John) and his wife (Erika) I should write my first proper blog entry – it’s going to be a busy year.
So….where are we? Well Katie and I are now settled in our new flat in Harrogate, a planning application has been submitted and solicitors have been engaged to deal with the lease agreement for the shop.
The chosen venue for taking the plunge is a former party shop at 22 Oxford Street. It’s a great location just off the high street and on the same street as; independent retailers Jespers and Duttons for Buttons, larger retailers including Marks and Spencer and Argos as well as the Harrogate Theatre. Here is a photo of the shop as it looked in the summer when I first enquired about it.
The new year brings with it an endless list of things that we need to do to turn this dream into a reality and we hope you will be interested in reading about it as we go along!
Rawley and katie! It’s dawn here,ro’s old flatmate. Just wanted to say congratulations! This is amazingly exciting. I love the branding and I will def be coming for a taste out once you’re up and running. I love fish and cold, purple soup! Good luck!x
Hi Dawn,
You’ll all be very welcome to come and visit once we’re open. I can’t give you any cold purple soup (a bit more Russian) but we will have some cured fish for you! Hope to see the three of you soon.
Paul
