Farewell


Events and unforeseen circumstances have caused us to reassess and redefine our direction ahead.  The circumstances which have brought us to this point have been involved and complicated – just as things in life often are.   As a result, The Daily Pie Cafe is now closed and will no longer be trading as a retail pie shop.  

We’ve always endeavoured to be business like, but the bottom line is – there will always be the personal element, the heart, the human side which affects each aspect of one’s life.   
The increased workloads in our other businesses, namely Debco Engineering Pty Ltd and Metalsmithery, are too great to neglect and we currently find ourselves “All Hands On Deck”.

The development of The Daily Pie, - right from the date of purchase of the building; the renovations, additions, refurbishments – to the sheer delight each and every time a new batch of pies came sizzling and squeaking out of the ovens, has been an incredible adventure.   We are truly grateful to all of you who have supported us over this period, but now we must take the road less travelled. 

Sincerely,

The De Bruin Family

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
