It’s been a summer full of fudge, friendships, and plenty to be proud of.
We kicked things off with a stall at the Lord Mayor’s Curry Lunch at Guildhall, raising money for the . A wonderful day and a real privilege to be part of.
We’ve also been out and about visiting our wonderful stockists. Locally, we’ve been all over the place, including a visit to - one of our longest-standing customers and soon to be neighbours!
But we haven’t kept it just local. We headed down to the big city to visit , where we finally got to meet Hazel and Julia after far too long. If you’re ever in Chelsea, you absolutely must pop in - and make sure you look out for the most jaw-dropping tote bag we’ve ever seen!
We also visited and met Jim, where we were completely in awe of the incredible collection of edible treasures packed into their little shop in Brixton Market.
Another special visit was to ING Bank - a relationship that stretches back around 100 years. Our founder, Annie Furness, wowed some of the bank’s partners with her fudge back in the early 1900s, and to this day they still serve it with coffee on special occasions. An incredible story and a reminder of our rich heritage, and of the very special lady who started it all.
And of course, it’s always a pleasure catching up with Andrew from every week or so, as he collects his bags of toffee to create those delicious tipples.
We’ve also been making plenty of progress with the new shop, as you may have seen. Things have been happening. Lots of things. We’re bursting with excitement and can’t wait to share a proper update with you soon.
Finally, we’re incredibly proud to have been named a finalist in the Cumbria Tourism Awards. We’re looking forward to celebrating with everyone at the results evening, and we want to say a huge thank you again to for the nomination and continued support.
Here’s to another season. May it bring just as many smiles, memories, and moments of excitement. X
