Potato passion…waiting for my train home tonight, I met an attractive young Scottish woman called Anne. She was promoting potatoes. Purple ones. Purple? Yes, I thought it was an unusual colour, too. However, what I noticed most about Anne was her passion for her product. I ended up being drawn into her world. She was so enthusiastic about it. And she didn’t blind me with science or farming. She just made it all sound such fun. Customers swarmed around her stand, partly because she and her team created a warm, friendly atmosphere. I found the whole experience interesting and inspiring. The potato tasted good, too. They’re called ‘Purple Majesty’. (Image: www.albert-bartlett.co.uk)
