Once we’d sorted out the
customers and had enough staff to run the shop, the next stage was to prepare
for the delivery that we’d had to cancel the night before. They don’t call them
artic lorries for nothing. The driver had to wait a while but he was happy to
take his break before we offloaded him. This gave us enough time to clear a
path from his parking spot to the warehouse door. It took us about half an hour
to get the job done, and we found that the ground thawed much quicker after we’d
cleared the drains. After much digging and gritting we’d cleared a decent path
and the friction of pushing the cages across the loading bay melted the rest. Then
it was business as usual and the day got easier and easier as more staff were
able to make the journey in. We even helped our neighbours out as they were
able to use our parking space to unload their vehicle; though they still had to
struggle with the ice leading up to their door.
