Award Winning Fudge says Taste of the West
Aug
12
A new food company here on St Mary’s has scooped 5 prestigious food awards from Taste of the West. “It was such a shock to hear that we had won these awards, I still can’t quite believe it’ said Michelle Mapplethorpe, proprietor of the Hand Made Fudge Shop on the Strand. Michelle has been working hard all Winter perfecting the range of flavours of her hand made fudge and all that hard work has really paid off as she has scooped a Bronze Award for each of her Loopy Lemon Meringue, Maple Walnut Swirl and Choc Orange Sensation flavours, a Silver for her Vanilla Velvet and the Prestigious Gold for the unusual but very tasty Cheeky Cherry Bakewell flavour.
You better rush off to the Strand as the fame spreads the prices may rise. Congratulations Michelle the hard work has paid off.

It has been a great weekend here on the islands as we have had Tom Henderson OBE, the founder of the charity SHELTERBOX, giving a couple of talks about how he conceived the idea and set up the charity. Tom and his wife Jayne gave 2 really interesting talks, Saturday evening on Bryher in the Community Centre and Sunday in the Town Hall on St Mary’s. Both were good evenings and enjoyed by all those who attended. Thanks to Kathy on Bryher for all here help, Chris & Di Peat for working really hard to put the tent up on Bryher and thanks to Richard and John for all their help on St Mary’s.
