Technically I’m not that old yet (Still feel like a 20 year old) but in dog years…well let’s not work it out!
The process of setting up and getting going with If I Knew You Were Coming has been hard on my brain, I’ve learnt so much new stuff, and I’m only just at the beginning! I thought I had a fairly good knowledge of computers, well I have my European Computer Driving License (Yes that is a real thing!) until we started our business.
Chris on the other hand has studied and worked in the computer world since he was at university, and it is him who is trying to keep me up to date with technology…
A training session usually looks like this:
Kids in bed, Chris, me and the laptop and a couple of glasses of wine.
And a training session usually goes like this:
Chris: Explains the technology
Me: I don’t understand
Chris: Explains again
Me: Still don’t understand, I don’t want to know, you do it (Toddler strop)
Me: (In timeout)
Me: Ok, show me again
Chris: Explains again
Me: Got it, ish!
Seriously though, he has taught me about Facebook for business, which I didn’t even know existed, Pinterest, how to build and edit a website (don’t ask me to do it from scratch, and he has to log in for me) and Search Engine Optimisation (Well I understand the term now, but he takes care of that!) to name but a few.
I love working on our photography, we currently photograph our products in our conservatory, through the day to get maximum sunlight, with 2 children trying to get our attention! Or in borrowed gardens (Summer Selection photographs) or borrowed houses (for the video we put together see below)
However, my expertise definitely lies with the development of new recipes and flavour combinations! I love creating new muffins and cookies for our baking kits which I know our customers will love as much as I do!
