And that's why we
Skate in multistorey car parks in winter.
And whilst on one hand everyone is pretty cold and damp... on the other, the community vibes run higher than ever.
It's just another part of life's natural ebb and flow.
For example - downside: today was your last chance to order from us for Christmas delivery.
On the plus side, tomorrow is the winter solstice. Longer days are here!
It's not that we mind night skating.
We'd just rather do it at night, not mid-afternoon.
I also take the Christmas newsletter as an opportunity to look back at which of the 50 or so garnered the most interest, with the aim of doing more it next year.
...Bodes well for me, as this year's most clicked email was my Postcard from Morocco.
As this follows on from last years clear favourite, a Postcard from Freiburg, my two takeaways are:
- Nobody wants to be sold stuff via newsletter
- For the benefit of Vandem, I need to go on more holidays
Where to next? You'll have to stick around to find out.
Until then, we're wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year.
We'll be back in shop and shipping orders on the 6th January.
Enjoy the well earned rest,
Matt, Rich, Danielle and Josh @ Vandem
We'll see you out there, Christmas day walk, new skateboards, scooters, bikes in hand.
What is it?!
