Summer Festivals 2009

20 Aug 09

Well, this summer has been a whirlwind for us, a blur of coffee, driving, mud, cider and good times!

We have provided coffee backstage and for VIP’s at Glastonbury, Download, Sonisphere and Lattitude amongst many others. i think the highlight for me was providing a bar in the artist area at Lattitude.  The people there were so friendly and appreciative that we were giving them great coffee, and it was really busy which is a bonus.

I have taken loads of photos but need to get them in order and get them uploaded, I have already exceeded my Flikr limit for the month so need to upgrade!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank some of the baristas that have worked with us.  Pat from Vancouver has been an inspiration, has has worked in some great coffee places and brought some extra knowledge and superb latte art with him.  It’s good to work with people like that who encourage you to strive for perfection.  He has gone home now and will be missed.  It’s a good job he has left his missus here to carry on the good work.  Sam has only done a few events so far but is brilliant in all aspects, practical, creative and awesome at coffee.

Russell has worked hard and provided us with many laughs along the way, always doing what is asked of him. Taz, chris Jones, Chris Cox (now retired to concentrate on his growing web design business), Mags, Dave, Lee, Robin.  And last of all My sister and business partner Kate who continued to work like a machine when heavily pregnant and everyone was telling her to slow down!

I will save more of this back slapping until the end of the season though for our end of season party. 

We have only got a couple more weekends to go - V and 80’s Revival this weekend and Reading and Leeds next.  I’m looking forward to a weekend off before throwing myself into opening our shop in Liverpool….
