After a reasonable toyfair at Spalding last Sunday, the 5th of December, and a very good posting of internet sales at our local Post Office in Cranwell we were feeling a wee bit chipper as to how Christmas was progressing. But then we received a phone call that took the wind out of our sails, or should that be sales? And it has set us back somewhat.
Our shop in the Buttermarket in Newark, directly below some of the offices in the Town Hall, was shipping water, not just a trickle but a flood. Rushing down to the shop for 5 O'clock we were met with water cascading from the ceiling and onto our stock. With the help of Gess we managed to move all of the soaked stock into another unit in the following two hours.
Soggy soft toys, drenched Daleks and dripping dragons all made their way upstairs. Apparently an air conditioning unit had broke down due to the weather and deposited its water onto us.
Hopefully we will be up and running in another downstairs unit within the Buttermarket in the next few days as a temporary home whilst the Council repair our shop.
But there will now be another deluge, this time of paperwork!!
So Time Was... is closed for the next few days, but like Arnie said, 'We'll be back', fingers crossed.
