Happy New Year!

It was so hectic coming up to Christmas, I didn't get a chance to wish all my customers and friends a "Merry Christmas" here on the "blog" so I'm starting the New Year with best wishes to all of you! It's so much easier trying to run a shop when your customers are such a lovely bunch of people - so thanks again for all your custom and support in 2006 and here's to a fantastic 2007!

One special Christmas present this year for On The Table and the team at Hendra Farm was the announcement that we're a winner in the "Best Rural Retailer" competition. This is brilliant news - we were so excited when we got the notification - but it's down to you folks who nominated and voted for us. So thanks so much - with extra hugs - for this too! The final is being held at a reception in London on the 7th February in the House of Lords - I think a new outfit is called for - any excuse, eh girls?)

Now back to our food and goodies. We've got our new soup range ready to go and the bakehouse is coming along nicely. I've been working on a range of Gift Cards that incorporate some photos of farm life and the countryside taken by yours truly. Over the next few posts, I'll give you the scoop on these bits and pieces in more detail - so check back soon!
