The time has come to say goodbye to un_rap on Falmouth's high street.
On closing day a few weeks ago, I was too overwhelmed with emotion to say anything. The sadness felt by so many residents has been much greater than ever imagined 💔
This little shop has filled your cupboards with organic food, hope, and quiet rebellion, during what can only be described as seven very tumultuous years.
It has been an honour and a privilege to serve you all during this time. I will miss supporting you through the ups and downs of life, or just refilling your washing up liquid without making a mess. Every single one of you have taught me something, and I'm so grateful.
The positive impact we've had on the environment, on each other, and on our habits, will never be undone. I truly believe that the magic of un_rap will live on in all of us.
Thank you for giving me the best job and allowing me to live in a world of hope while wearing dungarees. If you are ever feeling alone in your anxiety for the planet, I can tell you for a fact that hundreds and thousands of your neighbours care as much as you - they all shopped here!
When the shop opened, I thought I was trying to rid the world of plastic. But it evolved into a safe space for genuine connection - a sustainable space in a world of rushing, pandemics, climate colapse, genocide, and the rest. This little corner of Falmouth became something we never could have written a business plan for. Here we could discuss it all, while trying to do something positive and eating chocolate.
Over the past year, it became clear that I was too entangled in the mesh and core of this place. It would never be the same without me at the helm. So although its sad, its just the Hannah chapter coming to a close. But a new one will come. Of that I'm sure. Because it's too special an opportunity for someone else to not enjoy and make their own.
Thank you. I'll miss you. See you dreckly. (Probably tomorrow 😂)
With a full heart and life changed forever,
Han x (and Barley 🐾)
