A great day out spent with not just our work team, but our friends ❤️

Thank you for another amazing summer, we couldn’t do it without you!

That was one of the hardest, yet most rewarding things I have ever had to do.

30 miles in 1 day, with some of the most gruelling hills the South West Coast Path has to offer.

All made better by the most amazing fellow flamingos one could ask for! 🦩🩷

Thank you so much for everyone that sponsored us....it really does mean the world and makes the aches and pains today all worthwhile.

For anyone asking, there is still time to donate to CoppaFeel! :

On Sunday we will be taking our team out for the day to say thank you for working so hard this season.....but fear not, we will be open as normal, as we have three familiar faces returning to hold the fort!

Thank you Fern, Robyn and Sian for stepping in! ❤️

🦩 30 miles. 50 women. One very important cause. 🦩

This Saturday, I’ll be taking on the challenge of walking 30 miles along the South West Coast Path alongside 50 incredible women — all while dressed as flamingos! 🦩💗

We’re doing it to raise money and awareness for Coppafeel, a charity that is hugely important and close to so many of our hearts. Their work helping people become more breast aware and encouraging early detection can genuinely save lives.

If you can spare a few pennies, I’d be incredibly grateful if you could follow the link and make a donation. Every little helps, and together those little donations can make a really big difference. 💗

Thank you so much for your support — and wish me luck for those 30 miles! 🦩🥾💪

Well, that was fun!! ☀️❤️

We’re so sorry for the quietness on social media over the last six weeks. As always, summer takes over, but this year more than ever, we were absolutely rushed off our feet!

A huge thank you to every single one of you who has stopped by the shop this summer. It’s been so lovely to see so many familiar faces, as well as welcoming lots of new ones too. ❤️

We’ve also been completely blown away by the amazing comments and feedback we receive every day about our team. We really are so lucky to have such an incredible bunch of people working with us once again — and we couldn’t be more grateful for them.

As we move through September and into October, we’ll be reducing our opening hours to 9am–4pm. We’re looking forward to things being a little calmer and, hopefully, having more time to chat with all of you when you visit.

Thank you again for an absolutely amazing summer. We’ve loved every minute! ❤️

Here’s to a slightly slower September! 🥰

📢 We're really proud to announce this latest arrival to help with our mission to Engage, Educate and Empower Against Plastic Pollution!

♻️ It's another The 2 Minute Foundation Re:station for our area...

💙 "The Re:station is made from repurposed materials, diverted from landfill. It is completely sustainable and able to be recycled at the end of life. The new Station is designed to be ultra efficient in energy usage during manufacturing."

🍸 This new beach cleaning station has been funded with thanks to Connie Glaze Vodka for visitors to Porthcothan Bay Bay to use.

🙋‍♂️ We're collaborating with Porthcothan Bay Stores on this installation and it'll be installed this week ready to use with litter pickers and re-usable beach cleaning bags.

🙏 Thanks to everyone who has been involved with this collaboration. Get in touch if anyone else would like to do something similar!
