Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a memorable Christmas time and are all set for a successful and healthy year. 2025 is going to be a crazy year for me! Going full time with coffee again for the first time in 15 years! Scary!
Since buying the Piaggio Ape Classic coffee shop we have had 100mph winds and the most snow we've seen for years! Whose idea was this?!
We have spent the first month rearranging the inside of the van, moving the coffee machine to the back and getting the sides marked up. It has been a fun time, especially getting used to driving it! Inside it is just a handle bar like a bike and downhill we almost hit 40mph the other day!
I was out on Christmas morning giving away coffees thanks to many kind donations we received. Thanks again to everyone that donated so I was able to give away drinks to people that needed and/or wanted it on Christmas morning. It was a really nice morning and I am happy so many people came down. On Boxing Day I attended a charity rugby event at The Arena, Darlington in aid of The Team Luke Foundation. This was a busy day and I was so honoured to be a part of it.
I am still looking at places to park and open our little coffee shop on a permanent basis, the bureaucracy in just wanting to park up and sell coffee from a little pink van is incredible! I am sure if I sold breakfast buns or burgers the powers to be seem much more favourable to these..! I will find somewhere!
Our roastery is still busy away. Out in the van in the mornings, warm up in the roastery in the evenings! No new coffee planned at the moment but never say never..!
Best wishes to you all for 2025.
Rob.
