Restaurant food at home
The Careless wispers are going to go into production as soon as I get permission for a food business from the council. In the meantime I am busy creating the brand and some packaging. I need help! Namely what do I put on the packaging? If I call them Careless […]
Things are as busy as ever. Which is great. I’m currently concentrating on next weeks event at The Rivals, Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester. The team are great and have been so helpful. Anyone that is coming to the sold out event I hope you enjoy it as much as I […]
