This is our Jean.
I 'inherited' Jean when I bought Victoria House from Linda in 2010. Jean had worked for Linda as a housekeeper for over 10 years and she has worked for me every since, first as a housekeeper, and then as a baker. Although, sometimes in the early days, I think Jean thought I worked for her 😂
Last night we attended Jean's retirement dinner because she's moving into Shrewsbury to be closer to family. (She won't be retiring completely though because she'll still be making her popular Christmas and Easter cakes, and she is now an honorary lifetime member of Victoria House, so she'll be at all our social functions.)
I don't normally write this many words on social media but for Jean, I will. She is the most loyal and generous employee one could wish for. She is a hard worker and uncomplaining, yet always up for a laugh and has the best stories to tell, which usually get even funnier after she's had a few Pinot Grigios!
Thanks for everything, Jean. We have loved every minute of working with you and you will be missed 😘
