Another month!

I can't believe that a whole month has gone by and we haven't managed to update the blog once!

So much has been happening:-

• The build of Peppercorn Kitchen Cafe is nearing completion. It is going to be beautiful - thanks to the energy and skill of Ian, Scott, Ben and the rest of Ian's lovely crew at Property Care Services. Of course the design itself is stunning; and for this we must thank Andrew Dart, the talented architect to whom we are eternally grateful.
• We have had so much support from locals in the village as well as regulars from further afield - we have been asked to cater for art courses, anniversaries, birthdays, dinner parties, staff barbeques, three weddings (and NOT a funeral!), a music festival, an Arts Conference, a charity event and goodness knows what else. The work has been coming out of our ears - it's been fantastic!
• It has been a real challenge working without a kitchen! The laborious process of buying ingredients, carting them back to my house, cooking there (whilst paying staff to run the cafe for us) and then transporting the food back to the cafe and/or the catering event- it's taken it's toll on us and we've both been feeling pretty shattered and stressed at times. It will be so WONDERFUL to be in our new, commercial kitchen; cooking delicious food and able to chat to our lovely customers at the same time. We've really missed seeing everyone.
• Lisa and Ben get married on Sunday 26th Sepetmber - we are all very excited about it. We've decided to close the cafe for the day because we're all going to the wedding, 'photos to follow shortly!
