The first light 🕯️
What a week it has been here at 3 Fish Row.
After the events of last weekend's catastrophic criminal damage to our outside area, it brought a small tear to my eye to actually see our outdoor lights finally back up and running. Although we still have work to do on securing the posts we have been able to get the area back to what we would want it to be after the generous support of our wonderful community.
I cannot count how many people have approached me directly at the bar, in the street or online with words of support and ❤️. In my quietest moments to know that ❤️ is still burning bright in today's busy and hard world makes my passion to deliver more to this beautiful community burn stronger inside than I thought possible.
I cannot thank everyone enough for everything everyone has done to help us. As a small independent hospitality business owner, you wake up everyday just wondering if you will make it through the next day without incident, just to bring joy and smiles to everyone that walks in your door, to show them why their support means so much to your dream of running a business.
Seeing online hate towards this ❤️ and on our GoFundMe bought me to a quote that famous American poet, memoirist, and civil rights activist Maya Angelou once wrote "Hate, it has caused a lot problems in the world, but has not solved one yet" - and that still rings true with those anonymous comments. Hate and negativity will never solve a problem, just create them and we should live in a world without this - and as we know , the online world of social media , is not real life.
We plan to put this behind us and now move forward, and when the time is right, karma will do its best for those that created this heartache.
We will be making no further comment on the incident while the relevant police investigation is ongoing.
Thank you for the support - I ❤️ you all!!!
Please support local at this time and have an amazing weekend - hope to see you all soon ❤️
