Sweet Appreciation – Karen and Ian Vasissiere

Congratulations to Louisa and Riley (pictured), and Karen and Ian Vaissiere, of Sandspit, who are this week’s recipients of a gift box from Chocolate Brown. They were nominated by Tania Partridge, who wrote:

“I would love to recognise a Sandspit family who stepped up to help me when my husband had to dash back to England urgently for a family bereavement. Having two large, energetic dogs to walk on my own was proving a logistical mission. They offered to help, and not only did they drive from Sandspit to Snells to walk our pooches, they did it on days when even the ducks would have stayed indoors because of the weather. Their daughter Louisa and her partner Riley also helped and have become the firm favourites in our dogs’ lives. These are the friends that you want on your side or team. I love them, my dogs love them and I think a Chocolate Brown gift basket is a wonderful thank you. It’s locals thanking locals.”
