Nozstock 2009


Thanks to the rain we had plenty of time to kill, so the stand encountered a bit of a festival makeover, glittering lights and some inspirational felt pen work from the girls and we soon blended in, nothing to do with being next to the champagne and pimms tent honest!

Sally who helped us before we moved into the eggshed last year turned up to inspect us and see how things were going, good to catch up and hear that Gaby's toys are still doing well

A bit off our normal track I know but after our visit to the Big Chill last year we were sorely tempted by a much more manageable local music festival, also Hollie has been going for the last few years and pushed me hard to get us there... shame the rains came...

It's funny really, we've been on a run of events for a few weeks and this one had been held up as a bit of an opportunity to wind down, relax and have some fun, in fact the stress the weather brought made it feel more of a nightmare on Friday morning where we were greeted by the news that we'd need to be towed on and towed off at the end, there wasn't an electrical supply and the loos already hummed... however it all came together and calmed down in true festival style... once your there your there so time to chill... so we thought about what we do and came up with this the definitive route to selling our products

The Art of Selling Scotch Eggs

1. The Chilled approach (some say too laid back)


2. The Extrovert approach (it really can be quite fun you know)

3. The barter (if you buy an egg I promise to pour this pint over my head!)


What ever the approach the important thing is the quality so although we're out having a laugh with you - spare a thought for Penny and the kitchen brigade who tend to keep to the shadows

cheers and thank you


A final thank you must go to the Nozstock Team, in spite of everything thrown at them they built and re built tracks around the site and everyone got out safe and sound, at one point I counted 7 tractors towing vehicles to safe ground... a terrific effort we'll be back next year!!
