M R S D E L I The ‘talent’. Cake Lady. The person who gets all the ‘stuff’ done. The bill paying, the toilet roll buying, the cake making, the paperwork sorting, the tea towel folding, the best before date checking ... It’s Mrs Deli’s birthday. I’ve pushed the boat out and got her a special gift - a day working in the Deli. To be fair, she had a day off last week. Happy Birthday! . . . #mrandmrsdeli #makeyourmoment #birthdaygirl #smallbusinessowner

E S C A P E Yep, it’s Monday and we’re so NOT opening. Hanging out @theroystonwales which was named ‘Best Hotel in Wales 2019’ by @sundaytimestravel yesterday. It is utterly exquisite; stylish but homely and welcoming; sophisticated but relaxed. Oh, and we found the gin store. We may not leave . . . #makeyourmoment #mrandmrsdeli #smallbusinessowner #wellearnedbreak

C E L E B R A T E Today, we are 4. Four years to the day since we two terrified souls flung open the door for our high street adventure. Looking back, we were scared of the coffee machine ... the till ... customers ... cutting cheese ... everything! We stocked the wrong stuff, in a bad layout, and without any real plan. There’s still no plan but that’s how we like it. The handpicked collection of produce is amazing. We created a place to slow folk down. We found ways to connect people to the astonishing producers who make the great tastes we share, whose stories we love to tell. We’re a little bit proud of what we’ve grown into over the past four years. Today, we rest! . . . #happybirthdaytous #makeyourmoment #mrandmrsdeli #smallbusinessowner

S W E E T T R E A T We’ve got cakes ... and we’ve got places to eat cakes ... we’ve got paper to wrap cakes ... if you’ve got places at home to eat cakes ... we love cakes ... do you love cakes? At the start of the day we have all of the cakes ... but there’s a very good chance the people will eat all of the cakes. Except the ones we’re saving for @theroystonwales and Will @twofieldszakros so you can’t have those ones. Thems the rules. Pretty much the Law of Cake set out in all its rigorously-enforced detail . . . #homemadecake #mrandmrsdeli #cakes #makeyourmoment #delilife

T I M E O U T Mrs Deli works hard. Bloomin’ hard. She’s not always in the deli ... but that’s because she’s always in the deli kitchen. I mean, those cakes don’t bake themselves. Yesterday, Mrs Deli had a proper - and well-deserved - day to herself. A drive to Borth, a windswept walk to Aberystwyth, lunch at the very splendid @ultracomida and a train back to the truck. Along the way, picnic time on her @moorswood rambler’s roll and mushroom spotting. Apologies to anyone who missed out on a @brayscottage pork pie. It turns out Mrs Deli pinched the last one . . . #makeyourmoment #dayoffday #coastalpath #visitwales #porkpie #aberystwyth #mrandmrsdeli

L O C A L We are happy to make clear that whilst you will have to listen to Mr Deli talking nonsense, the Business Breakfast Networking event being organised and hosted by @focusnewtownhub will, nevertheless, be well worth attending. Drink the free coffee and while Mr Deli blethers on, work out who you want to network with. Or write a to do list. Or drink another coffee. I mean, you could listen to Mr Deli ... I suppose. Maybe he’ll be kind of interesting. Anyhoo, we definitely think you should go along . . . #smallbusinessowner #makeyourmoment #businessnetworking #coworkingspace #newtownpowys

U N I F O R M It turns out that publicly shaming the ‘Chief Financial Officer’ can, in fact, lead to an improvement in terms and conditions for the underlings. In this case, plaintive appeals by Mr Deli have resulted in an unexpected increase in his ‘uniform’ allowance. One very happy Chief Toastie Maker (still 24,479 hours short of Grandmaster status) will mostly spend the next few weeks breaking in his new @hiutdenim threads . . . #mrandmrsdeli #makeyourmoment #remunerationforthenation #fairpayforcreatives #smallbusinessowner

A U T U M N V I B E S We’re celebrating the season with warming Carrot, Cashew and Coriander Soup for the soul ... and your tummy. Recipe by @thehappypear Preparation by Mrs Deli. Assistance by Mr Deli who stayed out the way and watched the Rugby . . . #autumnvibes🍁 #soupseason #makeyourmoment #gatherandfeast #mrandmrsdeli

R E M U N E R A T I O N Many of you have been in touch noting that as Mr Deli is SO bloomin’ awesome, he must be on rock star, performance-related wages. Whilst it is very kind of you to say so, the sad reality is that where once Mr Deli was rewarded with premium Japanese selvedge from @hiutdenim and bright orange daps from @converse nowadays he is barely entitled to a couple of knobends and way too much butter. Perhaps it is performance-related after all . . . #makeyourmoment #toughbossbigheart #mrandmrsdeli #gatherandfeast #smallbusinessowner
