September Sweets and Events

I cannot say loudly, but …

Yahooo!
Kids are back to school!!! 

I felt this summer was loooong.
It was really hot since mid June, this summer seems to have started since then as I needed to take kids to swim in the sea or have BBQ in the garden.

This week, my usual an-an member will come back to the cafe. I cannot tell you enough how much I am relieved. I don't need to beg my kids to help me... I don't need to keep customer waiting for slow service.

Here is the announcement of the event this weekend.
On Saturday 8th September, there is a charity event at Hove Lagoon. This festival is held by friends of Hove Lagoon and Norman Cook, aka Fat Boy Slim, for collecting funds for refurbishing the park.
an-an will have a stall selling Japanese sweets and cakes, and Japanese ingredients. Please come to see me!

Live Music, Pilates and Tai Chi demonstrations, Dog show and Skateboard coaching... so many things to see and do!
This Saturday, if you don't have any plan, please pop in to Hove Lagoon from 11 am.
