Favourite “at work” memory | Here I am, opening the bar – and this petite, 90 year old Italian Lady appears… Shuffling & Grooving towards me, with everything she’s got!! Hip lock’pop’sway’arms up’runway’ to some modern day women empowering pop – asks how much cheese would cost while wiggling in her coat; puckers & shakes her head in disinterest; and keeps on shuffling all the way back towards the door, where she dances in the doorway by the speaker under the sun. So freaking wholesome.
