With the school holidays upon us and a growing business to run, we're having a "fun" time here as I'm sure a lot of you are! This is the first year that William has broken for the school holidays and he's at the perfect age for "I'm bored, let's tease my little sister" So it's definately going to be a long summer break!
Conveniently I need to set up our new consultants in Peterborough, Huntingdon and Manchester so I'm on a road trip....
We're just finishing the new gift bags and boxes and it's going to be the best set ever! We can do all the official announcing at the beginning of September! Anyway.....I'm late....!!

Girl on Film!
Good day to all!
We're right at the end of the compilation of the DVD, just dotting the i's and cossing the t's now. It's hit home to me how good Clare is on camera! I turn into a dalek when I'm in front of the camera, complete with strange strangled voice, Clare on the other hand, is wonderfully animated and totally herself. We've had a couple of companies interested in interviewing her, we all need a new Nigella on TV. My campaign for Clare starts now!!

The record is broken
I did my first tasting in Wales last night! Well... it was literally one foot in Wales, the other in England, in Chepstow, in Monmouthshire, which is a big foodie area. On the way there, Lyndsay, our first ever consultant, called and informed me that she'd broken the record for the biggest amount of sales at a tasting! She then proceeded to let me know that she would prefer the Sheraton over the Holiday Inn. I should explain that our top consultant is accompanying us to Chicago next May to attend the Fancy Food Show, one of the biggest food exhibitions in the world. With her two closest rivals being on holiday for the next three weeks, Lyndsay is going for it!!
I'll be working on the newsletter today so for those who have subscribed, this should be getting through to your inbox later. For those who haven't, why not? You get one newsletter a month with some tantalising recipes and offers galore! Myself and Clare are then off to Williams first ever sports day. As a competitive Dad I just hope I behave myself and don't accidentally trip up anyone ahead of him, it's just not the done thing...

Some secret good news!
We had some lovely news yesterday about one of our products - but we can't tell anyone until the end of next week, which is agonizing!!
Clare's spending the rest of the week finalizing the new products for launch in September. I keep on thinking, how can we improve our current range, it's just perfect? (not in a big headed way at all)but Clare continues to amaze everyone when she has her strange foodie development head on. The ideas are fantastic, we'll drip feed you some hints over rhe next few weeks....

Some more new consultants and something for the weekend!
Good day all!
Another busy week with one lady from Ashby de la Zouch and one from Huddersfield joining us. Where o where are foodie loving people on the south coast? We still have no consultants along the whole of the coast!
This weekend we're going to be busy at the village food fete in Ashton Keynes, showing a few of our wares to the locals, in the meantime I'm just finishing the July newsletter to the consultants, including the latest website statistics. We're getting around 150 different people coming to the website each day which is absolutely wonderful! Hopefully they're liking the new look front page!
