A photograph of a sign in the window of a café in Merivale. The sign reads, "To all my very loyal customers, thank you so much for your custom over the past three years. As much as I have enjoyed the previous three years it is time for me to move on especially to spend more time with my two young daughters. On a brighter note, Paul from Chicotis (198 Papanui Road) - I'm sure most of you will already know him - will be taking over very soon and will continue to trade as Chicotis. I wish Paul all the very best and thank you again for your support of Makibo Cafe.
