The Highland Show

- James, Dad and myself manning the stand.
Sorry for a couple of weeks of not posting.
Everything has been dead busy. I spent a couple of weeks travelling around the West Midlands - visiting Waitrose stores. This was pretty hard work. I got up at 6:30am every day, travelled for a couple of hours to get to the stores, worked until 7pm and then travelled back to go to bed. I got to see Brum and bring SuperJam to a few thousand more families, which makes it all worthwhile.
Batman and Robin in Stourbridge.
I also went on a cookery programme with Levi Roots, the Reggae Reggae sauce guy, which was cool. Will be shown on the telly in a few weeks, might be able to stick a clip on the blog.
As soon as I got back to Scotland, I had to spend four days at the Highland Show. Apparently, it's the biggest public event in Scotland with a few hundred thousand visitors over the four days. Certainly felt pretty big. We sold thousands of pots of jam and everyone was really interested in the products. Met a lot of other small food producers and had fun sharing stories and experiences.
I'm totally shattered now (Sunday evening) and looking forward to a few exciting things next week.
By the way, if you are a Facebook user, then make sure you get yourself down to the SuperJam Fan Group created by jam fanatic Yvie and sign up!
Over and out,
Jam boy.
