A day in the office after a weekend at Llangollen Food Festival. A good show was held by all and an appearance by the "Hairy Bikers" what a laugh those two guys are! I shall be watching their TV show in future and of course reading their books - they were signing their new book on India, Morroco and Belgium which looked mouth-wateringly appealing, I must say.
Today I have been trying to catch up with paperwork and telephone calls. With the chocolate launch getting nearer things are busy tieing up loose ends so to speak. Of course originally this should have been in the summer but with the breakdown of new equipment time has gone on and with Christmas looming we will now have to launch with a slightly smaller range than had been envisaged. Still we had tasters out at Llangollen and we had a big thumbs up on our clown lollipops.
I must say a big Hello to Sally-anne who is working hard at Wharfe Valley Farms in Collingham near Wetherby. They make the most delightful cold pressed rapeseed oil that I am totally hooked on. It is so good for you as it is high in Omega 3 and is absolutely delicious especially with those yorkshire puds and roasts! I can't wait to visit again soon - I managed two visits in August/September and hopefully will be going again in November!
We have two big festivals coming up this weekend, Cowbridge and Conwy so my husband and I will be at opposite ends of Wales yet again. I am going to Conwy which I love with its fantastic Castle on the coast and great company as my friend Alison (who is a brilliant chocolatier) lives in the town. Both Festivals are full of amazing artisan foods so do try and join us. We are busy making fudge as we nearly sold out this weekend and in the background are steadily making the chocolate. Will blog again soon.
