Thought for the week: Joseph Jones on a sweet sorrow

‘The supply chain is quite murky around cocoa.’

by Joseph Jones 18th June 2021

Sandra Berry’s article on Woodbrooke under Covid reminded me of the last visitor we had to the Friend offices, before the pandemic closures. This was early in March 2020; I remember we were already careful enough to greet each other by bumping feet rather than shaking hands. Our guest was James Cadbury, great-great-great grandson of that other James Cadbury, the one who began selling drinking chocolate back in 1824. James had come to Friends House on his first visit – he has never been to a Quaker Meeting – for an interview with our journalist, Rebecca, about his ethical chocolate company, Love Cocoa.
