7.What is the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
We are always appreciative of advice we’ve been given, it’s really what gets you through. A quote that sums a lot up for us is ‘Life’s too short to remove the USB safely’ in other words; life’s short – enjoy what you do, choose what’s most important and always have a sense of humour.
8.When you’re not in your shop, where can we find you?
Out the back …we are both on farms and enjoy being with family and friends so we can be in many places.
9. What music is playing in your shop at the moment?
We usually have playlists on pandora. Nothing too crazy
10. What do you love most about your local area?
Griffith has a lovely metropolitan feel while still having a strong sense of country friendliness. The vast spread of industry and culture in the area make it an interesting and great place to live or visit.
