It has all been very tense here at Farm Toys Online, as we were shortlisted for the regional final of The Pitch 2009!! It's a bit like a Dragon's Den and I had to stand up in front of 5 judges (plus the cameras and press) and say why we should win the £50,000 worth of prizes! There were only 6 of us from the South West who got through and we were the only company from Somerset! It will all be on YouTube in July, so you will be able to laugh yourself silly then.

Being in the big city (well Bristol) for the day I thought it would be lovely to be back in that working environment.... but when I went out to feed the pigs and chickens before work this morning, and sneaked out for a walk through the rape fields, which are in beautiful yellow flower, at lunchtime I thought how ridiculous, this is the best working environment ever! Cities are great to visit but it's lovely to come home.
