    That pie warmer needs to go on the other side of the boat (wharf side) and put on a base to higher it up to window level, then the contents will sell themselves as impulse buys - as no one can walk past a sausage roll 🙂
    Also get some Mylar bags and sell "Holly coffee beans" by post

    Just a thought - or two!! Once your pie warmer has been warmed, it may stop rattling! Thought two - used coffee beans, if you have no other use for them, could be bagged up and sold for customers to fertilise/feed their gardens/plant pots/window boxes etc!
    Loved the show as always! xx Your hints of things to come sounds interesting xx

    Been watching you 2/3 since inception. Trials and tribulations. Happy 'n' sad. You're doing well and will do better.
    I'm retired now but had my society servicing enterprise.
    New roaster (to be mastered and will be). Keep warm oven (to stop rattling and it will).
    It's all a hopeful advance into the unknown. Sometimes the unknown requires more clothes washes than usual.
    You're going up and not stagnating.
    Just give the customers what they want with good service and you'll never close.
    Sincere respect to you.
    Chris

    Holly is really coming along. All the improvements will make it easier to work in the space and expand your menu. I can see even in winter people coming by for a hot coffee, hot chocolate and some kind of warm food. Ideas for warm food is endless---grilled cheese, soup, and of course the sausage rolls. The only real limit is how much just the two of you can reasonably do in a day!

    Hi folks, forgetting you were closed last weekend, we moored our boat close to you. Sadly, no cakes, etc, oh well, next time. Pies, great idea, possibly with mushy peas or beens ? Also, to help keep going over the winter, how about a large bivouac over the seating area to ,keep the rain off. Incase you don't know, a bivouac is something that looks like a tent roof without the sides, front or back held up with poles and guy ropes.
    Just a thought, John and Cath, NB Steve.

    I had to laugh so hard this time: I was just thinking "Oh, I really like how you end your videos: you move along very easily and lightly, which is a really joy, and if I don't pay attention to the time (or the progress bar) then there is a sudden 'Yeah, I think that's the video for today!' and it is over quickly.". Literally only a few seconds later there is a cut to Vic:" Jo just said that she does not like the way we say good-bye on these videos ... anymore." That was such a funny coincidence. I think even your "Cakes and Bakes" book looking at me from the bookshelf across the room smiled 🙂You do what you like best. Cheers!

    Many, many, many years ago, before college - I worked in a warehouse district in Kansas City, Missouri, USA. Their was a coffee plant, "Folgers Coffee" near by and the smell of roasting coffee was sickening. I can only imagine how strong it will be in that small space. Good luck, the place looks great.

    • @terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725
      @terenceseymour-tf8rptassie725 15 годин тому

      that might have been because of inadequate ventilation and the enormous amounts of coffee beans being roasted, I don't think there would be a comparison with a small Cafe.
      In my city the brewery at the bottom of the city street used to stink but does not anymore probably because industrial processes have changed.

    Just a suggestion re protecting the wooden worktop. TUNG OIL is brilliant. Heat and water resistant, and completely food safe. Lots of info on Google - where to buy and how good it is. No strong smell either. Very natural.
    I protect my butchers block trolley with it. Start off with about 4 coats, and then re-apply about once a year. If I drop any liquid on it, it sits as if sitting on glass and can easily be wiped off, no water mark.

    Big changes.. bigger boat, or an apartment for the winter time maybe? Or you are expanding your sweet beautiful family? A delivery service lol. (Thats what I thought you were doing to your bike at first, turn it into a bike for local deliveries). A new book, I mean the possibilities are endless& make me excited to see all thats ahead&there is to come. Another great video of your guys' incredible life. The new additions &changes to your boat are amazing & are definitely worth it & pay for themselves in no time.
    I also love how curious William is about the nature and world around him. Just beautiful to watch and see.
    Someone reminded me of some, Ive been meaning to ask about as well. Holly had a leak a while back. Did you guys address and get that fixed yet? Also how is the range on Zero doing? Since we are heading towards winter, isnt the range also how you'll heat the boat? I know so many questions, from so many ppl, one could think its almost time for a nice festive Q & A 2024 video ;)
    Anyhoo, looking forward to next weeks vlog& all those yummy pies, cakes and coffee! Here is to a great opening weekend with perfect weather!

    • @BellaTrix0707
      @BellaTrix0707 День тому

      I have a local coffee shop around the corner who also roast their own beans. Sometimes they offer fresh waffles with powdered sugar on the weekend & they are super busy whenever they do.
      Anyways in the US I got used to drinking Vanilla Nut flavored coffee. Since moving to Berlin Ive had trouble getting a decent flavored coffee.
      Since this shop offered Hazelnut & had just found a decent Vanilla bean they were going to roast and add, I told em the mixture how to make the perfect Vanilla Nut Coffee. She said, oh for the holiday season this will be a nice addition.
      Hahaha its been a year, they constantly sell out of it, to the point that I often have to go back in order to be able to buy a bag. Its been a huge success for her& I couldn't be happier, as I get such fresh amazing coffee now, I cant describe just how much I love it.
      Its beautiful when a small shop, does something so nice for a customer and takes a lil risk& it then turns to pure profit for them in the end.
      So here is to your roasting adventure being the start of something great!!! They do let all of their beans sit for a week (?) or so after roasting before they sell them. I know, cause they have a few larger containers with dates of when the beans were roasted& are ready to sell sitting around.
      I'll be moving over to your lovely "Island" next year& deffo cant wait to try your coffee and all the yummy cakes you guys offer!

It gives me enormous pleasure as a retired teacher to see children in awe and admiration of the natural world. Shiny beetles are very attractive. In French we have red and black beetles called Gendarmes.... this year they clustered in hordes in the last few weeks around tomato and pumpkin plants. I also wonder about a life jacket and swimming lessons for William however water savvy and boat savvy he learns to be I know from experience as a parent the heart in the mouth to see one of his age fall head forwards into a garden pond when four adults were indoors and boy, it was a dash!
