"I cannot wait to welcome my first customers and share with everyone my passion.

"It's been a bit of a surreal experience these last few weeks, planning and preparing the shop.

"Don't think I'll ever get used to saying 'my shop'.

"See you all bright and early on the 28th!"

Ellie, 24, who has lived in Burnham her whole life said it what she'd 'dreamed of having' when presented with the opportunity to take over the former Haverslice unit.

“I felt like I’d struck gold," she added.
