"In the meantime we are heading back to Harris (good news for our Hearachs) at the end of the week and we will try and sort this all out from there. "We are devastated to have caused so much consternation, it was never our intention to bring anything other than good vibes and great coffee when we moved to Joppa. "We have loved meeting so many wonderful, friendly and joyful locals - it is a truly fantastic place to live and we have been made feel so welcome by so many people, we just hope we can sort things out and come back to Joppa."
