HAPPY BIRTHDAY OUR LU !
Where do we even begin with this one. The first day Lu came to work was in the midst of lockdown. We bonded (very hungover) over a cheese toastie and the rest is history.
In the Fig Fam, Lu is our wild child. She's travelled and lived all over the world and her spirit is naturally one of adventure and fun. Did she ever mention she worked at the Groucho? She's a grafter - says yes to all the shifts, pulls in all the hours and is never too tired for social time afterwards. She grabs life with both hands and fully expects and demands nothing but the best back from it. It's a very admirable quality.
Within 7 minutes of going anywhere she will have made 17 new friends. Our kitchen morning chats could make your head fall off, and are not for the public sphere but safe to say they are hilarious and magic. She is a mama, and a great one too, navigating work and life and motherhood on her own in a way that makes it look easy (even though it's not). Things don't daunt her - taking a 7 year old travelling to Vietnam, Australia, all over the world just doesn't phase her and because of it her son has been lucky enough to have experienced so much at such a young age.
I'm not always sure she realises how inspirational that is.
She's sensitive too though, and in a beautiful way that so many outgoing and fun people are underneath it all. She's a great friend, an excellent listener and hugger and life is very much better for having her in the fam.
Accidentally eat the wrong gummie, eat 2 litres of tiramisu ice cream at 8am, drink 9 pints of Guinness when you said you were only having one, make 17 new friends in an hour, book a long haul flight, snog someone you shouldn't in a Soho side street today in celebration of this beautiful human.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY we love you ❤️
