New Beginnings

My partner, Tim, dropped me at work on Monday morning. I didn’t feel anxious…more excited to join such an amazing start-up company.

I wanted to join the company because it is a small business that sells authentic products. I liked the story behind the start up. Brad and his wife, Louise, wanted to send gifts to their friends and family.

They created the happiness box and donated £1 from every box to the NHS to show their support for the key worker staff during lockdown.

The anticipation for starting work had been building and I couldn’t wait to get out of the habit of watching Netflix all day. I was welcomed very warmly and given a desk, laptop and a happiness box. Brad then showed me around the office and where the toilet and kitchen are.

My second day was pancake day. when I arrived at the office Brad went out to get pancakes from McDonalds, he returned shortly later and with a huge look of disappointment on his face he turned to me and said, ‘they forgot my sausage’.
Whilst Brad went to locate his missing sausage I built some boxes, ready for us to pack with new orders.

We talked about what our favourite pancakes are. I chose Nutella and banana and lemon and sugar, 2 very strong classic options. Brad bought some bacon to make bacon and maple syrup pancakes and he also got some strawberries so he could make a Nutella and strawberry one as dessert!

Brad and I talked about our own memories of Easter and our family traditions. I fondly remember waking up extra early to go on a treasure hunt to find what the Easter bunny had left for me.

Do you have any fond Easter memories or traditions that you would like to share?
