Well we have some sad news.

Rukayyah one of our supervisors will be leaving on Friday to pursue a career in the NHS. David and I have know since February that Rukayyah would be off to join the NHS and as much as we don't want her to leave, we know she is going to be missed by the Team here at Bowring.

Rukayyah has been a great asset to the Team, she started with us just over 3 years ago as a café assistant, quickly rising to shift leader and finally supervisor. This young lady is only 20 years old and she has single handedly ran a shift with 8 staff, cooking, overseeing everything and still smiling at the end. She does this week in week out.

Recently Rukayyah has gone above and beyond due to staff shortages /sickness and really helped out working 6 days per week.

The NHS are very lucky to have Rukayyah joining them, she is one in a million.

I still remember the day I interviewed this young lady like it was yesterday.

Rukayyah, David and I wish you all the best, you know we think the world of you and I will try not to have "runny eyes" on Friday.

You will go far in life and believe in yourself like I believe in you.

Don't be a stranger. Feel free to call in on your late night walks with Emilia and Sian.

Rukayyah is Zachary's favourite. He refers to Rukayyah as his Cafe Girlfriend.

Lots of love

Donna

The decorating is nearly finished, tables and chairs arrived. The chairs arrived after 5pm so I had the nice job of helping off load them.

I am loving the colours.

Cabin will be open as normal tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience Today. However we are open 360 days a year and had to pick a day to get everything done. Yes a few people grumbled, however logistically we had deliveries from Ipswich and beyond, plus tying up our painter , not literally isn't easy.

Some business close while they do work, we just closed the cabin and still had tables outside. Thank you to everyone who understands how hard it is to be open and try and get everything else done at the same time.

Yesterday was World IBD day, this is completely different to IBS, please don't confuse the two.

People suffer, struggle and try and live a normal life, yet this can be life changing.

It changes the life of the person who is suffering and it affects the whole family. Some people require their bowel to be removed and end up with a stoma. They can struggle to eat and suffer long after the operation.

They can hit a real low and end up skin and bones as they are unable to eat and can't keep food down.

When they hit 44kg and you worry yourself sick as you can't do anything as magic wands are out of stock. You just pray that they get better and put on weight and manage to eat.

You know who you are. I love you and I am so proud of how you have handled this.

People can be embarrassed by their condition, please don't be. Life has thrown you a curve ball, don't let it define you.

If you are suffering and have symptoms not necessarily blood go to your GP. Don't be palmed off with it's just a bug, it's gastroenteritis. Too many times Doctors are missing the signs, not taking the time to see the bigger picture and people are not being treated.

I never really knew anything about IBD until it hit close to home. Now I read, watch and research as much as possible.

To everyone suffering. Be strong. Be positive and don't let it define you.

We’re open as usual today - however the cabin / indoor seating area is having a bit of a revamp today, so will be closed today. The outdoor seating area is still available as usual. Thanks for your understanding.

Big shout out to Rukayyah, Sian, Liz,Tabitha and Casey who are going above and beyond.

These ladies have stepped up over the last month to cover shifts due to staff sickness and holidays and they will continue to do so for the next few weeks at least. They are working 6 days a week.

Between these ladies and David who is working 7 days they have been amazing.

Hospitality is a hard slog, recruitment is difficult. We are currently recruiting however finding people with experience is difficult.

Yesterday we had 3 staff with David being one of them covering for 4 people.

Please be patient, realise they are working their socks off and doing their best.

We don't have a magic wand, we can't suddenly find staff, recruitment takes time and we won't just recruit for the sake of filling a position, we need and want the right people.

Like I have said, hospitality is flipping hard
