NEW CUSTOMER UPDATE

Good afternoon everybody,

We hope you all had a lovely weekend and an enjoyable Valentines. Harry spent Sunday at Emma Bridgewater painting pottery, for any of you who have never been I would highly recommend it. You get to paint a mug and take it home with you. Which essentially translates to paying double the price for a mug which I would be ashamed to ever take out of the cupboard. If anyone asks, my 5yr old nephew painted it which is in fairness probably an insult to even his artistic talent.
Anyway, more to the point. We have been busy again picking up new stockists and would like to put our hands together for an almighty warm welcome to Hocs Fat Pigeon Natural Store in Audlem which for anyone who hasn't been, is a beautiful little shop just up from the church. In addition we are also now stocking our hot chocolate at The Fox & Barrel in Cotebrook, a fantastic pub and one of my personal favourites. Why not find out what they had to say about our products on our testimonials page. Just click here
We would love to hear what you think of our products, either comment below or email the cows at the cows@harrysmilkshakes.co.uk

We will also soon be stocking Number 6 in Tarporley, one of Harry's favourite cafe's so as soon as they take their first order we'll be making an almighty song and dance about it. But until then, have a brilliant week.

Much love,

Harry & The Cows.

Valentines.....

So here we are at that time of year again, the time of year where all of us men (including me) go into melt down over what on earth does one get for his loved one. First comes the card. Do you a) Go for one the size of a small car which when turned on its side can provide shelter for a small village. b) Get a card that has something written on it along the lines of "My eyes are bleeding at the thought of losing you" which I feel somehow no longer says love, it more says desperation. Or c) you do what I do and go round your local town for a good afternoon into every card shop you can find, reading every single card you can find, even down to the point of comparing the quality of paper it's made of, as god forbid you should get one made out of cheap card. Nothing says I don't love you like rice paper does.
Then comes the gift, too big and she'll think you should have spent more at christmas, too small and well you probably shouldn't bother with the card anymore. Personally I'm more of a gesture kind of guy, the gift should be meaningful and say something about the relationship, rather than just buying 12 roses from the petrol station on the way home. After all I don't know many girls that prefer the smell of castrol. So remember guys, don't panic. If in doubt attempt to knit her a scarf, she'll probably appreciate the effort more.
