Cambridge Cluster

Image via WikipediaThe Cake Tin was “cracked open” from St. Ewe Free Range Eggs by Rebecca Morris starting in their farm kitchen.  The cakes have been so successful that baking has moved to farm buildings converted by husband Andy.

The cakes are supplied to the Catering Trade in Cornwall and South Devon by Doble Quality Foods or you can always go direct but why miss a smile from a Doble Quality Foods driver!

St. Ewe has been producing egss for 25 years and the chickens are free to range during the day with eggs collected twice a day.

So a fascinating story of how one family in the Cornish Cluster is diversifying to keep bring us the best food.  It must all be done with a helpful bank manager.  I wonder if the banks are offering fixed rate loans for ten years at the special rates now available.

Who else but our friends from the Middle East?  Qatari Diar has taken full control of the 12.8 acre Chelsea Barracks site and acquired the duos stake in the separate Grosvenor Waterside development.  So the cold winds from Iceland have met the warm current from the Gulf.  Barclays first, now the Candy Brothers and more to come I guess.
