Chaos

Good morning!

What a beautiful morning! 

I didn’t get a chance to write yesterday because I was at the networking event. Before I come to that I have to write about our visit to the care home. 

We were asked to go in and make some cocktails for the residents, so off we went, Gema prepared them, we served them two cocktails and some shots of Toffee vodka. Before it even started they came in one at a time, straight away they started chatting to us, not just small talk but straight into banter and full of funny innuendos, it was hilarious, I think there was about 8 or 9 in the end. We had a chat about what we do, and what drinks we were serving them, several kept asking for refills, some didn’t like a certain one so had more of the one they did like, and some enjoyed shooting the Toffee Vodka. We spent about an hour with them and it was bloody brilliant. What a lift, and something we will do more of. That particular home has a coffee morning coming up so we will pop along to that. 

The lady running it asked us what our fee was for doing it, those that know us, know we would never charge for something like this, its just a small amount of product and an hour or so of our time, they really appreciated it, however if it wasn’t for you, the public, our followers etc purchasing our products, we would not be able to do it, so I cannot take all the praise for doing it, just like during lockdowns, it's a massive team effort. People buy our products, which enables us to do things like this. It's as simple as that. So thank you. 

So yesterday i went to a local networking event, thoroughly enjoyed it, met lots of local companies that meet up regularly and it was great to see how they support each other. 

Then came back to the distillery in chaos, typical me, I forgot to tell Gema we had a 1000l of Perry being delivered, but she is a diamond and got it sorted.  

So today we are distilling Perry for our friends at Whinhill, in fact we will be doing it for several days! 

We are also having a big bottling day, so we have a full team in, I was supposed to be going to Grimsby for a meeting but its been put back so by the time you are reading this, Gema will be super pleased that I will be here today to help!

Right off to a meeting

Catch you later
