Still not entirely sure whether this was determination or questionable decision-making… 😂
Three days after knee surgery under general anaesthetic, I somehow found myself back in the kitchen for last night’s pop up. Was it sensible? Probably not. But I’ve always believed that obstacles aren’t always there to stop us. Sometimes they’re there to show us what we’re capable of overcoming.
Thankfully, after years of sport, injuries and learning to understand my body, I knew what I could manage. (Even if it meant having an ice bag on my knee the whole evening! 🫠)
More than anything, I just want to say thank you. The last few months have been a huge transition after closing the café, and if I’m honest, stepping back into this felt both exciting and a little daunting. Seeing so many familiar faces, along with people travelling to support, genuinely meant more than you probably realise.
Moments like these remind me why I started Rise To Health in the first place. Community has always been at the heart of it.
Hopefully this is the first of many more pop ups. If there’s a dish, cuisine or concept you’d love to see next, let me know below… 👀🍽️
A huge thank you to .k95 for being an awesome team. And for holding the space with good vibes 🎶
