@OffMenuOfficial is that the entire fruit salad now??

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 Fingers crossed.

Here’s the obligatory ’keys to a shop’ photo. After years of talking about it, I have finally got the keys to my own premises. I’m going to be living the life of luxury with a roof over my head, a door to keep the wind out and RADIATORS for when it gets cold.

@mgr1973 🤷🏻‍♂️ depends on builders, electricians and plumbers.

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 Hush now. Don’t think of it like that. Think about how much you’ve lost since I’ve stopped instead.

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 @greaterbedmin Oh yaaarrrrr. Close enough to get to by bike though…

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 That’s how I roll…

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@greaterbedmin Just down the road in Backwell.

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 Yep

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

There’s quite a bit of work to do before I can open, the builders start tomorrow and the electricians a few days later, but I’ll update you with more details when I know what’s happening.

Bricks and mortar BABY!

(Yes that is a coffee handle keyring).

@mgr1973 Merry Christmas to you and your family too! (Don’t think free coffee was ever an option at Christmas time!) 🎄 ☕️ ❌

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 It is a shame, and I really hope someone else decides to take on the pitch. Without wanting to sound arrogant - a lot of people have made friendships because of me and my van and I feel sad that that won’t happen anymore.

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

For 7 years I have dragged my coffee machine around and after limping on for the last couple of months yesterday it decided it had had enough. I’m going to be out of action whilst it either gets repaired/replaced.

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 Little cafes like mine act more like little community hubs where people who would normally just pass by each other stop and have a chat for the time it takes to drink a coffee. They act like a focal point for parks and to remove them can have a greater impact than people realise.

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 I know, it’s starting to dawn on me now. 🥲

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@tomc Thanks Tom, I will also miss you and harold. Although I am still waiting for a request to split the bill from you to pop up on my phone!

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@WhybesD Ahhh, I miss Frank causing trouble!

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 Thanks. Got to think of my new venture first!

[Hopper Coffee @hopper_coffee]

@mgr1973 If only you lived near Luckwell park…
