And now for something completely different, as the long standing vlog takes a new outlook. April 12th not only brought about the start of release from Covid restrictions - with people now being allowed to eat and drink sat outside hospitality businesses - it also brought about a range of new laws around cars and driving - particularly regarding mobile phone use.

While it has been illegal for a long time now to hold your phone in your hand while driving, the new legislation restricts any use of a mobile even if it is in an car mount - so no touching to change playlists - even while static in traffic. While you can still take hands free calls, and use voice activation to make them - FaceTime calls appear to be on the list of not allowed activities and that really means recording a video will be as well. It’s still a grey area, but the new laws are backed by hefty fines and points - not something I fancy getting into.

So the vlog has a new look, I might do the occasional car one if I can park up off road somewhere with a nice view and do a static one - otherwise it will be in roast central alongside the 30kg roaster.

If the audio is a bit muffled, I’ll try and remember bluetooth earbuds with mic for next week - and I don’t really know if the camera is too far away.

As for the week, as you would expect busy as more business opens back up, with local customers returning so it’s been nice to get out and supply our local cafe’s, restaurants and pubs. Loads of roasting on both roasters of course, although favouring the 5kg this week because such a wide range of different origins to roast - and I always take care to keep the bulk roasts to origins that will move quick.

Weather wise it’s been very cold, with snow last Sunday and frost nearly every morning this week -3 degrees Celsius on Tuesday morning! But sunny in the day time, so heading in the right direction at least.

wow loving the new setup i must say.

you could now advertise your coffee packs on your vlog directly.

I was expecting the ending to be edited but nope you took a big gulp of your coffee and casually walked over to turn camera off haha.

awesome vlog

Pfft... editing-schmediting... The man's a renegade with a blatant disregard for the rules of convention ((except for when they concern vlogging in a moving vehicle 😁 ))

Good to see you around Chris. Family stuff has me pretty distracted from Hive right now but checking up on people when I get the chance 😎

Hope the new phone's treating you well, keep on with the photography man 👍

Glad you've figured out a new format so you can stay out of trouble and avoid fines! The roaster is seriously cool. Congrats on being able to sit out on a restaurant patio when you want. That is exciting!

That’s stupid, as long as you are not holding the device and are paying attention to driving what should it matter. You are a little too far away in the video and a little hard to hear as well. I’m sure you will figure that out. Keep roasting brother Cha-Ching the cash flow.🤑🤑🤑

"WHAT NO CAR???"

Bloody rules... Bloody Covid... Bloody new format... It's political correctness gone mad!!!

Sorry, I got carried away there, yup it's nothing to do with political correctness but that's what grumpy old Northern blokes say, I'm practicing, I'm 50 next year lol.

Whatever will we do without your glamourous sidekick who tells us when there are speed cameras ahead?

Perhaps under the new rule relaxations I could collect my coffee order in person, I checked out megabus recently actually and found it's very, very reasonable. Outside terraces and beer gardens open... (Did somebody mention KØbenhavn???)

I actually like this format, like you say you can use props and not get distracted by people pulling out at junctions or impromptu snow blizzards in late April lol, not getting arrested for being a rule breaking reprobate is always good too!

Good to check in with you man and see what you're up to as I am incredibly distracted by some pressing family issues of late but still keeping as active as I can nonetheless. Best wishes to you and yours from me and mine Roastmaster. Hope you are getting to catch-up with many of the small business owners/friends who have been off limits for the longest time now. 😎

All hail semi-normality!
