Brrr it’s been freezing this week, and the snow finally arrived (Saturday 27th) so winter is fully upon us. With the snow storm Arwen blew in with causing widespread UK damage to buildings and fallen trees with 96mph winds. While we avoided the worst damage locally the winds whipped up big snow drifts and the roads have been treacherous - thankfully Toyota know how to make a super traction control system so the Rav 4 has been out on slippy snow covered roads without an issue, tackling snow covered steep slopes without a problem where my previous Renault would have stopped dead with a traction control melt down.

The main new this week though is my turbulent Monday, the warehouse roller shutter decided to come out of it’s tracks Monday afternoon and while I was up a ladder trying to persuade it back in it dropped onto my head causing a big gash with blend and incredible amount. Thanks to have more work to do - including finishing off making the warehouse roller shutter burglar proof again I had to just stem the blood flood with an entire toilet roll worth of rolled up and help onto the leak until it calmed down. So I just raided the first aid kit for gauze and medical tape, made myself a handy head patch and finished off the working day - dropping deliveries off on the way home and parcels to the lockers.

Tuesday I had so much coffee to roast I had to start early, and ended up going to get my injured noggin looked at in the afternoon - doing a few more deliveries on the way - “Oooh what have you done to your head” was quite common as I stumbled around with my ad hoc white trauma patch stuck to my head. Surprisingly Accident and Emergency at the hospital was reasonably ok, and I got in and out with 2 hours - although that might have just been due to minor injuries section being relatively quiet. They just cleaned the gash up and glued it closed to keep the germs out and let it heal itself - I would have skipped the hospital but the family were having a nervous breakdown at the size of the gash/

The remaining weeks has been as expected crazy - so many local orders to deliver, shipped out orders are insane and Thursday I had another 500kg massive coffee and chocolate drop for the Christmas Markets before heading to a customer who has just installed a new Toper 30klg roaster to help them get started using it.

Black Friday was busy too, and we also launched our limited edition @whiterosecoffee Black Rose espresso - it’s so good I’m actually really impressed with myself for coming up with the blend and roast level
