It's been a while but we haven't left you.

Hello everybody,

I know it's been a while since we last attempted to ruin your day with a Facebook update but here we are again trying our hardest. The challenge today is to read the whole thing without pausing for breath (if anyone is hurt in the attempt we are not liable).
So where have we been all this time I hear you cry, alternatively that could be something else but I'm assuming it's you. We have been making your life easier to get your mitts on our products by gaining yet more new customers, and if my maths serves me right. Since our last post a month ago we now have 6 new customers, yes 6!!!
They include: The Windmill Inn at Whiteley Green. The Bhurtpore Inn in Wrenbury. Blythings Farm Shop in Tarporley. The Fishpool Inn in Northwich. The Blue Moon in Chester. And last but by no means least Emma Bridgewater in Stoke-on-Trent.
Over the next few days I will be doing a short update on each of these customers just to give them their own individual glory so make sure to keep an eye out.

In other news, we're working on mint hot chocolate and orange hot chocolate. We're also on the look out for the next Ernest Hemingway to write a poem or story about why our products are so good, in return we will print your finest words on our leaflets in all of the cafe's across the land...... if you wish to enter make sure to keep the stories to around 100 words and send them to the cows@harrysmilkshakes.co.uk. The cows love to read.

Much love,

Harry & The Cows.

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.

Getting a little bizarre now.....

Hello again my lovely Facebook fans and news page readers, we hope you're still spreading the word on how great our products are. We just thought we would let you know that we've gained yet another new customer. Not just any customer though - one of the finest pubs in Cheshire, the Cock O Barton in Malpas. The reason things are getting a little bizarre is due to the fact that last week we added the Cholmondeley Arms where Harry & Nicole went on there first date, well it turns out just a week later we've added the venue where Harry & Nicole went on their second date..... I know what you're thinking, where did you go on the 3rd date? Well sadly Nicole just cooks dinner for Harry now. But not to worry I think there could be another date in the pipeline if it's for the good of the company.
In the mean time we would just like to give a big warm welcome to Matthew and his team at the Cock O Barton in Malpas, and say thanks for stocking us and we hope you and all of your customers continue to love us as much as we love you.

Much love,

Harry & the cows.

NEW CUSTOMER UPDATE!! (You're not seeing double)

Hello again everybody,

Now I know what you're all thinking..... Seriously 2 news posts in one week, this guy must be on drugs or something (you're probably not thinking that but just go along with it anyway).
Anyway, more to the point. We have yet another new customer.  One of Harry's favourite pubs in Cheshire if not in the country, and I would like to add, the spot where Harry and his girlfriend Nicole went on their first date - The Cholmondeley Arms. We would like to welcome this beautiful pub to our stockists list and hope that for those of you who already eat there, make sure to get a hot chocolate. And for those of you don't..... I suggest you start.
On another note we've updated our products page so it now looks "bluddy brilliant". Make sure to take a look.

Much love,

Harry & The Cows.

NEW CUSTOMER UPDATE!!

Good afternoon world, I was supposed to have this written and uploaded last Friday but sadly things never seem to go quite to plan.... But just so everybody is clear, we are most pleased to announce, as of hopefully Wednesday this week (if things start going to plan) Fromage & More a lovely little cheese shop in Nantwich, will be stocking our Hot Chocolate.  We are very pleased to have them on board. As they have just opened their brand new store we wish them every success with it.
To find out where your nearest stockist is then either click here or click the stockists link at the top.

In other news we're currently looking at a special Valentines hot chocolate for all you love birds out there.... any ideas would be much appreciated. But it in the mean time have a great week everybody and we'll speak to you soon.

Much love,

Harry & The Cows.

New Year new pyjamas.

Gooood morning everybody. Harry and the cows hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Harry was a good chap this year and received some very swanky purple trousers so keep your eyes peeled and you'll probably spot him out and about. Don't worry the cows were given some time off as well to see in the new year.
Now to begin 2013, which seems such an odd thing to say considering 2 days ago it was a Monday, now for some bizarre reason simply because its a new year people get all blurry eyed and decide to finally take up sky diving. We at Harry's have to admit things are no different.
Today before breakfast Harry decided to have a spring clean of his wardrobe, it may have been somewhat over due after finding 'Space Jam' pyjamas. Yes thats right, the film with Michael Jordan along side the all star cast of 'the Looney Toons' - turns out it came out in 1996, 17 years ago!!!
But Harry isn't the only one getting a freshen up. Things are changing at Harry's Milkshake & Munchies, starting with a lot more stores, by June we expect to be in 100 new outlets, be it pubs, cafe's and shops. Don't worry though we'll keep you posted with news updates as to which ones they are, and we'll still be doing lots of shows.
For the time being though we wish you all the best for 2013.

Much love, Harry & The Cows. xxx
