Summer Events: Happiness and sun!
This is our second summer with our large coffee van and we’re getting better each time! Fred and I (Nick) have developed a particular work style that suits the demands of the post and which doesn’t threaten our inner ‘hippie’. ‘Where there is chaos, we shall bring calm’. There’s no tantrum in the kitchen, no ice cube throwing.
Working as a team* is perhaps the key to a satisfactory day in this large tin coffee can that we call Matilda. (*Like Maverick and Goose only without the nasty accident)
Imagine this: 7 hours solid graft at Buzzstock 24, very hot and low on iced latte cubes, arms tired from the hand pump espresso machine when, suddenly, Elvis bellows out ‘YOU AIN’T NOTHING BUT A HOUND DOG, CRYIN’ ALL THE TIME’. This talented tribute immediately gave us that added philip, a new energy and we were immediately transformed into hip swinging, lip twitching coffee hound dogs!
We attended Leighton Buzzard Canal Festival as well as Buzzstock24 and this was a gorgeous day to be settled next to the canal, meeting many friends who buy their coffee for home consumption from our shop in the Town. Any fears of our van becoming stuck by the lake following heavy rainfall proved futile although Matilda got the annual battering from the foliage that has no respect for her wide birth and towering majesty!
All in all we find that taking on an events van is hard work but that’s o.k. if we make it fun too.
Many thanks to all our customers and big respect to the organisers who just quietly make things happen..
