From a dream to a doorstep
My name is Amy, and I spent over 30 years working in the NHS as a nurse — mostly in community mental health for elderly patients. I loved the people, I loved the caring. But honestly? Running my own little coffee shop was always the dream I never dared to speak out loud.
My private life wasn't the happiest for a long time. I was in an abusive marriage, and having dreams of your own just wasn't something that happened.
Eventually I found the courage to leave, and I met someone who was the exact opposite. When I mentioned my dream, rather than pull me down, he encouraged me to make it a reality.
In February 2023 he won an auction on eBay for what looked like a ratty old 1970s caravan, part-converted for a food business. Then — despite the fact we'd only just moved in together — he spent every spare evening and weekend fixing her up.
I adored her from the moment I set eyes on her. We're two 70s girls alike. We've seen a lot of life, but with a bit of TLC we have a whole lot more to give.
We got all of our electrical safety certificates and a food hygiene rating of 5. Ladies and gentlemen — please allow me to introduce PoFfles.
