Three and half days of intensive product photography has just come to an end, and I think we are all breathing a sigh of relief ... "never work with children or animals" is the old adage, but in our case we couldn't have asked for a more perfect performance from "Sponge Bob" who took to sleeping on her Magniwool cushion with great aplomb and never even stirred!
Deciding on a "look" is always hard for a business, but these things evolve over time and we felt it was time for a complete refresh- the photos that have recently been taken will shortly appear on our website and will also form the basis of our new look brochure. We are fortunate to live in a rural and unspoilt corner of Gloucestershire and it provided the perfect backdrop- the weather could not have been better.

Our last blog mentioned a Fund Raising Curry Lunch for the Army Benevolent Fund and this is an utterly delicious recipe for Lime Mousse - just the thing with Spring in the air! It is a strange method, but stick with it, as it does work and hopefully, as in our family, it will become a firm favourite ...

Put 1/2 cup cold water in a small saucepan and sprinkle over 4 tsp gelatine
Leave for a few minutes to swell. Heat gelatine and water, stirring until dissolved.
Add 1/2 cup fresh lime juice, 1/4 cup white rum (we use Malibu), and 1 cup plain yoghurt.
Using a clean beater, whip 3 egg whites with 1/2 cup sugar until it forms a thick meringue.
Whip 1 cup of cream until soft peaks form.
Fold the cool gelatine mix through the cream, then fold in egg white mixture.
Pour into a large serving dish and garnish with lime zest.
Serves 6-8
