What a weekend… ❤️🍦🏁
As I sit here with blistered hands, aching arms and a very tired body, I honestly couldn’t be happier.
It is always such an honour to be invited back to The Octane Terrace at Silverstone Hospitality for the British Grand Prix. To be trusted with such an incredible event for the second year running means more to me than I can say.
Over the last two days, Gigi, Mo and I served an amazing 1,800 ice creams. We laughed, chatted and scooped our way through the weekend, and meeting so many wonderful people was an absolute privilege.
One of my favourite moments is when people come back to the van just to tell us how incredible the ice cream is. It happened over and over again this weekend, and it never fails to make me smile. That’s exactly why I chose The Saffron Ice Cream Company all those years ago. Their ice cream is exceptional, and hearing your lovely comments reminds me, every single time, that we made the right decision.
There were moments this weekend when I simply stopped, looked at the queues, looked at Gigi, and felt overwhelmed with gratitude. Five and a half years ago, after losing my wonderful Graham, I could never have imagined that life would lead me here. Naming this beautiful little van after him (GG- Gorgeous Graham) means that, in a way, a little piece of him is still out there making people smile. That thought will never stop meaning the world to me.
To everyone who queued, chatted, laughed with us, came back for another scoop, or simply stopped to admire Gigi… thank you. You made this weekend so special.
Running a small business isn’t always easy. There are long days, worries, breakdowns, blisters and moments when you wonder if it’s all worth it. Then weekends like this happen, and you remember exactly why you keep going.
A huge thank you to my amazing sidekick, Mo, who worked tirelessly beside me all weekend, keeping the queues moving, laughing through the madness and helping make the whole experience such fun. I couldn’t have done 1,800 scoops without you. ❤️
Thank you, Silverstone, and Edge Events for another unforgettable weekend. Until next time… 💕🍦
P.S. Despite serving 1,800 ice creams… we didn’t eat a single one! 😂
