Debating Scotland's future on BBC Scotland's Riddoch Questions

Yesterday, a panel discussion about the budget, the recession and Scotland's future was broadcast on BBC Scotland.

On the panel was the Labour minister Andy Kerr, Lubina Kerr from a health-focused social enterprise, Lawrie Russell of the WISE Group and myself.

There were some tricky questions from the live audience and perhaps some good ideas came from the discussion.

SuperJam interview on BBC2's Working Lunch

On Monday, I was interviewed by Declan and Naga on BBC2's Working Lunch program.

I was the 'main guest' on the show and the interview was, according to some of my followers on Twitter, the best i've had in a long time.

You can check out the interview on BBC iPlayer here, if you wish.

There has been a flurry of orders on the website since the interview so it has been all hands on deck in Jam Land - which is why it has taken me so long to blog about it!

Tea Cosy of The Week!

This week's tea cosy of the week is a bit of a cheat, I have to admit.

I spotted this at a friend's flat and though it was definitely worthy of taking this week's crown.

It is a sort of rubbery tea cosy and looks funkier in real life than it does in this picture I took.

Of course, if you would like to knit a tea cosy to help support our SuperJam Tea Parties project, which is growing fast and really needs more cosies, feel free to knit one and send it in.  We'll send you some jam to say thanks and feature your work on the blog.

Our new friends!

Recently, Eteaket tea boutique opened its doors on Frederick street in Edinburgh. They serve a range of wonderful teas, cream teas, afternoon teas and home baking, soon to include our jam!  You should definitely pop in for a cuppa if you're in town.

Eteaket have very generously agreed to support the regular SuperJam Tea Parties in Edinburgh and will be serving their wonderful teas, alongside the scones and SuperJam. With their help and support, we are hoping to make the events even bigger and better. The guests at last week's tea party (picture here) thoroughly enjoyed Eteaket's teas. You can check out their website, order some of their products or learn more about their philosophy here.
