And there you have it. The sun sets on another season and boy has it flown by.
We've been lucky enough to call our little corner of Kip Marina home for 18 years (yes you read that right!). Many of you have been with us on that journey since day one, others have been welcomed along the way.
Of course we are nothing without you, our fabulous customers, you have put your trust in us throughout all this time.
We thank you for your custom of course, but it's much more than that.
Thank you for our wee chats, the laughs, the words of wisdom and the friendships we've made along the way. In a tough business and a tough world you have been a shining light.
I'd also like to thank my family for helping and mucking in when they can. I really couldn't do it without them.
And finally all the staff, the cornerstone of Riva, the engine that drives us every day, thank you for putting up with me.
I'll stop right there as I can go on and on (as many of you well know).
So today we bring the curtain down in another successfull season and in no small manner it's down to all of you.
Your support, loyalty and kindness has meant the world.
We hope to open next March but who knows, maybe a little sooner. 🧑‍🎄
Keep your eyes on the socials!
Thanks again, peace and love to all, over and out.
