Release the Hounds

by Flic Luxmoore | Wednesday, October 26, 2011 | Hopeful, The Business of Catering

Yesterday I wrote a press release. It’s something I have been meaning to do for a while, but then things happened, as usual, and I forgot. Most recently the hedgehog, but it’s not his fault, poor little dude was just trying to survive. I learnt about press...

Hot Water Doesn’t Grow On Trees

by Flic Luxmoore | Thursday, September 29, 2011 | The Business of Catering
