We will write about this in more detail in due course. But just before bedtime here in Bali, we wanted to share some snaps, note that International Real Vanilla Day 2023 has been a great success, and thank everyone who has got involved and helped us spread our important message, both at home and abroad. It has been hectic – the Bali traffic ensured as much – but for Janet, Dave and Paul in Indonesia, everything that we set out to do we did, and even our wildest expectations were exceeded.

We visited the farm where our Indonesian vanilla pods are grown, spent time with our Balinese partners at their state-of-the-art processing plant, met friends old and new, and shared messages of support from LittlePodders all over the world. It couldn’t have gone better. We can’t wait to write more in the coming days and weeks!

Need to know more now? You can find more about IRVD 2023 on Instagram so be sure to give us a follow! To all who have got involved on social media throughout the day, we send vanilla hugs and our thanks. Likewise to those who have taken part in person, and to everyone who has contributed to make this occasion so, so special.

Our beds beckon here in Bali so we’ll sign off with a sense of great satisfaction. International Real Vanilla Day is over for another 12 months, but it has been an experience we’ll remember forever. Thank-you. Thank-you. Thank-you to all.
