Tablet is very good for you because it cheers you up on a rainy day.

The lovely Albion Caff in Shoreditch is selling our tablet this week. Gave them lots of samples to make sure everyone tries it and buys it!

St Andrew's Day coming up soon. We're busy with what we've called table gifts ie little bags of tablet for dinners. I like this thistle stamp but usually the tags chosen are a bit more trad in style.

The (handmade Scottish) tablet biz is exciting although there are days when I wish there were "people" to do stuff with me. And now I mention it some of those things would be: neat printing and cutting of labels; being dead good at tying bows on little cello bags and being the person who prepares the kitchen for Tablet Making then puts it all together again when it's done. All my jobs today. The job I like doing is calling people to say "did you get the tablet?" which is really Sales. Sales calls - something I've avoided doing my entire life. Too shy. Turns out when you send someone a bag of sweets, they don't mind talking. It's been kind of OK.

We are now making wedding favours of tablet. Little cellophane bags of tablet for the table, each with a small label and ribbon tie. Very sweet with coffee.

Variations on tablet

Have discovered the collage button. Recently invented sweets-on-top version of our tablet. Even sweeter.

This is West Sands, St Andrews is one of the best beaches ever. Even when people say it's busy there's hardly anyone there.
