I was touched by Cortrasna's thread about how sad things have been lately. Would anyone like to brighten things up a bit? Would you like to help lift us out of the prevailing gloom by telling us about the best thing that has happened to you this year? Pics would be nice!
I think overall the best thing that has happened to me in a tough but good year is that the cafe looks as if it might finally be getting its head above water - and that we won an award! Our local town trust, which tries to preserve and improve Godalming, gives awards every two years for buildings which are especially good in some way, and Cafe Mila won the award for Biggest Contribution to the Town's Ambience.
Here's the cafe set up for a small evening party -
And filled to capacity by the local primary school mums earlier this week.
My OH was thrilled because the cafe is mostly his work - we didn't employ an architect or designer. I am I thrilled because it's our cafe and he's thrilled!
So come on, what's the best thing that's happened to you?
