Happy Saturday!

Happy Saturday!

We are proud to be a small business, owned and operated by local people. We also love to support others in our business community, here is a blog from Jess about her Saturday morning.

I just love a sunny Saturday morning when I arrive in Hockley super early, fly the open flag outside the Amos office like a top of Everest celebration moment, gleeful at beating our still closed competitors to the 'early bird' trophy. I grab the sunny seat outside one of the Villages many cafes to watch the world go by for ten minutes armed with my mug of hot tea, contemplating the day ahead and wincing at my mobile banking app, did I really have that many cocktails in Revolution last night?

Come 7.30am the Village is already alive with joggers, horse riders and a small army of dog owners heading towards Hockley Woods, what a wonderful place to live (Hockley that is not Hockley Woods, that would be cold in December!)
