After an unusually snow week in the UK we come out the overside still feeling the chill, Storm Arwen did cause widespread damage in the UK but we were lucky to avoid the worst of the gales.

Monday proved exceptionally busy with a massive influx of orders over the weekend, followed by a tricky Tuesday due to multiple issues with a customers espresso machine which I ended up swapping out for another one I had spare - all not needed with all the other work on. And an evening trip out to Flockton to drop 400kg of chocolate sauce for the Manchester Christmas Markets.

So Wednesday was just catch up and a load of roasting on the big roaster to replace stock, coffee is just flying out at the moment so it’s a daily task keeping stocks built up.

Thursday and the 40 sacks of Ethiopian Yirgacheffe arrived - at 60kg a sack the four pallets were not the easiest to drag into work. Another full load to Flockton for the Manchester Christmas markets - they thought they would do less then 2019 but have totally smashed through more stock already then they did then - they could possibly double the total stock use.

Friday was just catching up with the tail end of orders, dealing with delayed deliveries - thanks to the snow over the Black Friday weekend and the increased orders it caused all the carriers are maxed out and behind - so it’s been a daily chore answering customers questions about delays to their orders arriving. It’s frustrating when we ship promptly but the carriers are slow in delivering - but the massive volume of packages they have from Black Friday but difficult to access snow covered back roads mean you can understand some things take longer to arrive.

No rest for the weekend, as I put my removals hat on - sadly the weather is the worst for this type of thing so it’s turning into an epic trial.
