We've done it! Our shop is ready: it's all painted white inside, the floors and windows are clean and sparkly, the garden is tended and replanted and watered, the rubbish is all gone and the lawn mowed, the rails are bought, painted and hung with fabulous garments, the crates are stacked as a shelf unit and the shelves are full of treasures from Malawi, we have a white desk each and a cupbard full of the crafts that mothers at the Imhoff Waldorf School have made.
We are looking good!
But gosh - our shop premises are like a big fishing net that traps all the rubbish blown from the 'burb over the road in the Cape's famous South Easterly wind. Every morning we arrive and have to do a rubbish collection before we can open. So be it. I am going to make myself one of those wire spikes so that I don't have to grope under rocks - scared I am going to grope a puffadder one day - the perils of shop owning on a farm in the Cape!
