So, the Olympics are over and its time to get back down to earth and regain some sense of order again. It's been a busy couple of weeks for us as well, as the glorious Great Dorset Chilli Festival fell right in the middle of the 2 weeks and we spent "super Saturday" in a charming little B&B in Upton. Well worth a visit - Laurel Cottage. That was after a lovely supper in the local pub - St Peters Finger.
The Chilli Festival was great, probably our best yet. Fantastic weather, beautiful setting and as ever positive feedback on our products. Once again we went home with a nearly empty car on the Sunday night. Best sellers were without doubt the Chilli Mills and we sold out of the Portable Mills on the first day. The Scarves and Jewellery went really well, especially the Jalapeño Bunches.
We took down a new product for us, in the form of some exceptionally good beef jerky made by Trail Head Foods. Wow! That went down really well. We sold two flavours over the weekend, Naga and Chipotle. We will be selling these again at the remainder of the events we are doing this year but have no plans to sell it on-line at the moment. If you can't get down to the festivals you can get these flavours and other directly from their web-site.
Talking of web-sites, we have a few more products that have just arrived or are expected any day now. Watch out for a wonderful new Mexican cookbook, Chilli and Chocolate by Isabel Hood which should be on-line by the end of this week along with some really special and unique new silver chilli jewellery.
