Well… this isn’t quite the post I was hoping to be writing!
Firstly, I’m so sorry if you’ve messaged me recently and I’ve been a bit rubbish at replying. If you’ve been wondering where I’ve disappeared to, I promise I haven’t been avoiding you!
The truth is, I’m currently undergoing ongoing investigations for some health issues. It’s all a bit of a waiting game just now, with appointments, tests, more appointments, and enough hospital visits to qualify for my own parking space!
As much as I’d love to throw the doors open again, I need to be sensible (not a word anyone who knows me would usually use!) and focus on getting some answers and, hopefully, getting back to feeling like myself again. Because of that, Am Bothan won’t be reopening in the very near future.
Please don’t panic if you’ve already booked catering with me – all existing bookings are safe and secure, and I’ll make sure they’re looked after as promised. I may just take a little longer than usual to reply to new enquiries, so thank you for bearing with me.
Running Am Bothan and Hampers and Champers Inverness has never just been a job to me – it’s been a huge part of my life, and I miss seeing all your familiar faces more than you know. I can’t wait to get back when the time is right.
Until then, thank you for all the kindness, patience, messages, and support you’ve shown me. It genuinely means the world, and I’m looking forward to the day I can say, “Right… coffee machine is on, who’s coming in?”
Anne Marie xoxo
