The Founder of Ki's in Cardiff, Ki herself, has passed away at the age
of 88.
She died Wednesday, in a retirement home, having struggled with
Alzheimers for a couple of years and a recent broken hip.
This woman was
really a head of her time. Opening a small organic hand-juicing
storefront decades ago, on Birmingham, and working it single handedly
for years, with her long red hair piled up on her head.
Customers would line up outside the small window stall to order, before the restaurant opened to become the large oceanfront site currently.
I spoke with her
daughter yesterday. There's a celebration of life next Tuesday evening
at Ki's open to the public at 6pm. All welcome.
