As the days start to lengthen some of our thoughts turn to spring and for some of us our thoughts turn to Source!
It’s now less than 3 months away and there’s a lot to do.
I spent some time this week looking through photos of last years show. This reminded me just how good it had been and got me excited about what we will be able to offer you this year.
Some of my favourite shots of the show are here….
This small selection will hopefully whet your appetite for what’s to come!

It’s the darkest, coldest month of the year. We’ve all overindulged at Christmas and left our immune systems poorly supported and under stress. Lots of booze, fats and sugar – what can I say?! For the few of you out there that this doesn’t apply to , please feel very virtuous and stop reading, perhaps go for a run 
For the rest of us it might be helpful to know how fantastic garlic is at boosting the immune system, as well as having cleansing and antibiotic properties.
One option is to walk around with it under the soles of your feet inside your socks where it will slowly be absorbed into your blood stream as you move around.
Alternatively, you could try some of the array of great offerings from the Garlic Farm on the Isle of Wight!

So today is the last work day for us here before Christmas. I know that’s not true for all of you but I can only write with the perspective of us office types!
To mark the occasion we are having food and drinks while we enjoy the annual custom of ‘Secret Santa’. This is a chance to raise a smile by exchanging gifts with each other and perhaps raise a few more while trying to guess who bought what for whom! The specifics were all determined weeks before through a secret draw of names from a tub. This was followed by complete secrecy of purchase and wrapping, then camouflaging of handwriting on tags and finally furtive placement of parcels in the designated Santa sack.
Not only are we wondering what we will all get and who has been the most thoughtful, funny or clever? But, given we work on the best trade show to source excellent food and drink in the region, what victuals and morsels will there be on offer?
We only have to look through our exhibitors for 2012 to get suitable inspiration :-
Celtic Marches Beverages
Burts Chips
Frobishers
Now all we need is for one o’clock to hurry up and arrive!
I hope you all have similar festivities planned and that good food and drink are plentiful. There’s plenty of time for resolutions in January! Enjoy!!

The exciting news is that with five months to go to the show our new website is ready and here it is! What do you think? We’d love to hear your thoughts and definitely please point out any niggles or technical hitches we need to iron out.
One of our favourite bits, of the new look site, is the video of last year’s show. For those of you who joined us at the show, in Exeter last April, see if you can spot any familiar faces. Are you one of the couple clearly enjoying the pasties?! Perhaps you can see a friend or colleague? If so, don’t keep it to yourself, spread the word and share the link.
For those of you who weren’t at last year’s show, we hope the video brings it alive for you and gives you a taste of what this year’s show will have to offer…
There will be lots more news about the show in the coming months in the meantime have a look around the site and leave me a comment. Cheers!
