A Feeling of Sheer Exhaustion
Posted by Kirsty Ralphs on

I don't know about you lot, but we're 4 weeks into this Summer "Holiday" and I'm in need of a holiday. The word holiday to me denotes relaxing time. Sleeping, eating and drinking lots, and a general feeling of refreshment!! Ha ha ha ha (queue the hysterical, mad woman laughter) ... relax? Sleep? What even is this? Thank goodness for food and drink. Now I do love spending time with the little ones so please don't misinterpret this rant. They're bundles of fun and do provide lots of laughter, but there's only so many times I can say "Don't lick...

A Great Taste in our Mouths....
Posted by Kirsty Ralphs on

A big hello to you all. I hope you didn't miss us too much last week. We were all working hard on the shop floor for one of our larger orders, so no time for blog writing and Social Media updates. Anyway, some exciting news for you all right here; This years #GreatTasteAwards are out and we are pleased to announce that we have won an award for our fantastic tasting #RhubarbandGingerGin. To quote the judges; "fresh and complex aromas", "a lovely indulgent mouthfeel with a slightly syrupy texture". (To you and me, it's simply a great tasting drink to...

A Day at the Races!
Posted by Kirsty Ralphs on

Yesterday we were lucky enough to be taken to the races on behalf of the company. We are all very grateful to Tori and Hannah for organising this and had a fantastic time. It's fair to say we're feeling a little jaded today, and have lighter purses and wallets, (all apart from Aaron who appeared to be racking in the wins), and a kitchen full of biscuits to help us through this day! Honestly, it's tough having a hangover and working in an alcohol fuelled environment, but we wouldn't change it. The picture shows a 2 thirds of our dedicated team and was...

World Chocolate Day. I literally couldn't be any happier.
Posted by Kirsty Ralphs on

So technically this was on the 7th, but I'm going to take on the World, and change that to today! It's only 4 days late after all. (And if you celebrated it on Saturday, then lucky you, 2 days in one week). It's not like I need an excuse to eat chocolate. My brain tells me every day is World Chocolate Day. But at least today I am going to give myself a break and enjoy all things chocolate, guilt free!! I have an absolute treat of a cocktail for you all today to celebrate! ***Chocolate Vodka Frappuccino***. This is...

A New Partnership
Posted by Kirsty Ralphs on

As you all know by now, because I keep banging on about it, we have been working closely with Lilley's Cider, just across the road from us. Convenient!! Also convenient, is that the 10th July is apparently "National Don't Step On A Bee Day" If you say this out loud to yourself, it sounds like "Don't Step On A Bidet" Lols. I mean, personally I don't think you should step on either, on any day of the year but we all love a National Day to remind us of these things, right? Whilst not stepping on bees (just don't do...
