    Hi 👋🏽 Thank you for the lovely comments!! I can’t believe after 10 years this is circulating again! My teenage son will be impressed/highly embarrassed that I’m trending on TH-cam! In terms of an update. We did acquire the shares back of PJ and Duncan. They were amazing to work with. We’ve now rebranding as Kirsty’s and supply every supermarket in the country. I’m so grateful for the show as it really kick started the business. We’re still privately owned and incredibly passionate about free-from and health! ❤️ Kirsty xxx

I hope everything is well at your end and i believe that every mother out there is proud of what you have done for your son. Mothers are always the best, i know because i am a son who had lost his mother when i needed her the most, but till the time she was there, the world seemed to be a better place. Thank you for sharing your journey with us.
      With love,
      A proud Son to one mother.

      @@TheAxeliono Yes, true. The C virus is possibly the most contagious virus ever seen. Millions will get it. BUT, BUT, BUT... it is no-where near as strong (lethal) as the Flu virus. In fact, the Flu kills about 40x what the C virus is likely to... and does so EVERY YEAR. The world has blown this all out of proportion, simply cause of its contagious nature. But, people relatively quickly, recover from it. 90% of deaths are with elderly, particularly with poor cardo-vascular systems.

( I've met my share of women who are both emotional and cold. ) Don't make it a male/female issue. ( Have you not seen other "Dragon's Den" shows where men were tearing up or crying? ) Same thing: neither of us know why, so it's completely presumptive/speculative until you truly know all the facts, which you don't. Stay on point, you admitted it could be untrue. TV is fantasyland in that a minute fraction is known about so-called reality-based individuals.

      Works both ways. Over praising can have devastating effects. There are numerous studies on this popularised in books like Freakonomics, iirc (most of my reference books and notes in boxes at moment). The effect is late teens and adult life pulling out of trying to avoid letting self and childhood praises down. Lots of successful types do it to show early critics they were wrong.
