Ascot Picnics

I'm not sure what happened to the original Ascot picnic blog post, but there were no words here until I wrote these and I'm sure there used to be. I think I said something about Ascot being the first "picnic event" in our calendar for 2007. I made up lots of lovely picnic baskets for customers to take to the races and the weather held for most of the day. Looking forward to next year!

A School Outing

On Thursday I was visited by a class of infant school children who are studying where food comes from. They were all well behaved and polite! Quite a few told me they didn’t like cheese but it was important to try things they didn’t think they liked. They all tried at least one of the cheeses they were offered. And those who didn’t like the first cheese, did try another type. I was very impressed with them and at the end of it there were only two children who still didn’t like cheese.

Where have I been?

The blog was meant to be about all the new things going on in the delicatessen, but everything is new and I don’t know where to start. So I haven’t written anything for ages.

But the shop is open, getting busier every week and more and more crammed with stock by the day. I’m almost on top of the paperwork, the stock control database is controlling at least half of the stock and I’m just about organised. I will have to start somewhere with entries about products. Maybe tomorrow...
