I'm enjoying a delicious cup of Assam tea bought from Tea People at the Women of the World Festival this afternoon. I had a chat with Dilip, the stall holder, and realise I know more about his company than I first thought, namely through the multi-talented designer entreprenuer, Gillian Gamble, who is behind so much of the creative work of this exciting young social enterprise. I'm looking forward to seeing their new film about tea workers and their families - coming out soon. They're also in the April edition of Vogue.
I had called over to look around the WoW Festival, having run stalls there for the past two years - selling my own jewellery and the products made by my SEN students from Mulberry. I am glad that the business has been carried on this year by an enthusiastic member of staff and that we had the students colourful products being sold there once again. The Mulberry stall looked fantastic as always - we're very proud of the girls!! I hope they make a good profit after all the hard work. Other Mulberry students will return on Sunday to sell more products - bath salts and other gifts.
