Too early for the 'C' word?
Autumn has officially begun, and although the days are still warm there's a little bite in the air in the evenings. The 'shoulder seasons' are always my favourite time of year. Spring feels fresh and full of promise, but Autumn is a time to hunker down for cosy nights under a blanket and start plotting festivities in earnest. Yes, I said it, but the reality of working in retail is that Christmas starts now - soon stock will start arriving, ready to hit the shelves in a few weeks, and there's plenty of admin to be getting on with. The order book will open soon...
There's also lots to do to get the Shaftesbury Christmas Market ready - head over HERE to have a look at the traders who'll be joining us and make sure you save the date! (Sunday 13th December).
And in the meantime, I'm getting back to my theatrical roots again, beavering away at And Then There Were None (Shaftesbury Arts Centre, Oct 14-17th, shameless plug, book your tickets HERE!)
Welcome to The Truckle Truck - a Cheesemonger on wheels selling nothing but the best cheeses, biscuits and accompaniments.
Based in Shaftesbury, in the heart of the Blackmore Vale, we travel around the local area with a counter full of outstanding cheeses. Many of them are from the region, but we also enjoy some truly exceptional cheeses from further afield.
The star of the show is, of course, Susie, The Truckle Truck Herself. A 1969 Citroen HY van, specially converted to sell cheese, she's become a popular sight puttering our slow and steady way around the Vale's lanes.
If you fancy coming along to the counter to try some cheesey goodness, check out our calendar for details of upcoming markets and festivals. You can also have a look at some of our favourites in our cheesey blog, All About The Cheese or if you're putting together a cheeseboard, find our Tips & Tricks for cheesey success.
