✈️🇪🇸 HE’S READY FOR HIS HOLIDAYS! 🇪🇸☀️

Passport? ✅
Suitcase? ✅
Sunglasses? ✅
Holiday mode? ABSOLUTELY! 😂

Our apron has officially packed his bags and is ready to swap the café for some Spanish sunshine! 🇪🇸🍹☀️

But what exactly has he got himself up to while he’s away…? 👀😂

Keep following for more holiday snaps! 📸✈️🇪🇸

We have a feeling this apron is going to have a LOT to tell us when he gets back… 🤣

🌞 THAT’S A WRAP! 🌞

And just like that… we’re officially taking a little summer break! 🥳☀️

A HUGE thank you to every single person who has supported us, popped in for a coffee, enjoyed some food, brought their four-legged friends along 🐾, shared our posts, recommended us to others or simply stopped by for a chat. ❤️

We’re incredibly grateful for every one of you and for all the laughs, lovely conversations and happy memories we’ve made along the way.

Now it’s time for us to put our feet up, switch off and enjoy a well-earned rest! 🍹☀️🇪🇸

Cafe at the Minster will be back 26th August!

Have a fantastic summer, everyone — and we’ll see you on the other side! ❤️

Much love,
The Cafe at the Minster team ### 🥰

💙 A little favour to ask from our wonderful Café at the Minster community… 💙

Many of you have all heard me talk about my eldest son, Aaron. This year he’s taking on the incredible challenge of running the Chicago Marathon to raise money for Make-A-Wish UK.

Every penny raised helps bring joy and unforgettable memories to children living with critical illnesses and their families. It’s such a wonderful cause, and I’m incredibly proud of him for taking on this challenge.

If you’re able to spare even £1 or £2, it would mean the world to Aaron and to the children whose wishes your donation will help make come true. If donating isn’t possible, simply sharing this post would be a huge help too.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support. ❤️
