I decided today when the smoke poured through the serving window and I had to move away from the grill, that was enough.

We both came in and worked. We were both getting sicker and sicker and sicker by the day.

I'm afraid of not getting support or not being able to see our regular customers. They're important to me. They're a part of my family.

Just the guilt of the unborn babies is enough. Also, I have asthma and if I get sick, it becomes double pneumonia. The doctor warned me it's getting serious — either sell the cafe or die early. It's so serious (cigarette smoke) that my help wasn't going to work here anymore.

We broke out today, it's been awhile.

Having had many years of support from BBC Midlands Today, I'm looking forward to presenting and reporting the stories that matter from my home patch.
