Narrowboat Sunflower, sitting on the Macclesfield Canal brings produce, baked goods, jams, preserves, and gifts made fresh on the boat, or sourced locally

I’ve spent a very hot sweaty week with my family in Italy in a more than slightly dysfunctional air BnB, however the kitchen, I enjoyed - and here’s a snippet of my fave bits! (I will be buying a coffee pot for next winter on Sunflower!)

Hey non-northern followers I’m going to be at this beautiful market in a couple of weekends time!

Not by boat I’m afraid, would take a good while to get there by boat! So I’m packing my car up and zooming down the M6 (and M5) to sample the vibes of the lovely Kennet and Avon canal!

You’ll find me in the traders tent at The Barge Inn Honeystreet pub and it sounds like it’s going to be such a corker of a weekend I honestly can’t wait!

Expect from me:
🍓 Boat made jams
🧅 Chutneys
🥒 Pickles
🌼 Cordials

🌰 Plus a brand new product! Boat made nutty granola! Divine with Greek yoghurt and a good dollop of my rhubarb and vanilla jam! 🩷

Expect from the weekend:
🚤 brilliant boat stalls,
🧶 other boat traders from all over the country,
🍔 good grub
🎷 live music
✏️ kids activities

It’s going to be GORGEOUS!

🌞 I’m going on holiday! 🌞

I’ve worked my 3 jobs pretty much non stop since Easter so I’m taking a break for a week to spend time with family in beautiful Italy 🇮🇹

You’ll see some scheduled content go out but I’ll be slower at responding to messages/comments etc so please be patient, I’m busy floating in my rubber ring in the sea, or eating my 3rd gelato of the day!

Don’t worry, it’s all GO GO GO when I get back! And maybe my next stall menu will be entirely Italian themed to help me integrate 😂

CIAO FOR NOW! ✋

Sitting, listening to folks chatting, eating, laughing, and enjoying an evening by the canal.

Food has this amazing ability to bring people together and to be the facilitator for that has been an honour!

This will be the first of many Towpath Supper Clubs I’m sure of it! What a gorgeous evening 🤍

It’s a weird one suddenly getting a lot of new followers. I’m feeling an immense pressure to show up and be present for fear of losing your support if I don’t!

But the truth is I’m feeling a bit swamped at the moment and so I’ve decided to pause my online shop for a bit while I get my head above water again. Ive got my first (sold out!) towpath supper club coming up, plus a lovely family holiday at the beginning of August so I think I’ll do some online store admin once I’m back from that!

I’ve struggled making stock in the hot weather, and while I’m juggling multiple jobs and projects with finding time to rest I’m not managing to make stock as fast as I’d like!
But I have a strawberry supplier secured, plus some more pickle plans so just hang in there! Things will get made I promise!

I’ve managed to bag some more storage! Yay! Which I’ll be moving in to over summer. Once I’ve got that I’ll have more space to store my stock, spare jars, all my equipment, plus I’ll have a dedicated packing area for online orders, which is currently the passenger seat of my car in the car park of the post office!

So I guess this post is just to say thank you for your patience as I navigate growing my business! I’m getting there slowly!
