About Me

Shelagh Ryan
13 Charlotte Place, London W1T1SN, United Kingdom
This is a story about a little girl, in stature rather than age, who traveled all the way to London from Melbourne Australia to open a café. Task: convince the Brits that there are better ways to start the day than with their most significant export, "the Full English"; Experience in running a cafe: none; Optimism: high. I’ve decided to keep a blog so that I can either press print and sell millions of copies of my amazing success story, or give those who are secretly thinking she'll never pull it off, an opportunity to see why.
