  2. 2015: My thoughts & hopes...

    Posted on

    2015:

    My little business plan & thoughts: Back to our roots: British heritage food. A tentative move into Street/Market pop-up food stall. More foraged foods on the menu. Wholesome homemade soups. Treat my customers to the simpler pleasures that we have trampled on in our rush. Old fashioned courtesy costs nothing in business, 2014 showed a society full of personal & corporate greed & materialism. Sometimes, a small act of kindness: carrying a cup of tea for someone, listening to memories after a funeral. All this costs nothing, but it's value is immeasurable. Sorry, I went on a bit...
