Hi there. Good of you to pop in. Just got back from Alexandra palace. We seem to have dodged the traffic; not too bad at all – both going and coming back. We commute back and forth to Kent/East Sussex each day. It’s just cheaper, and we get to sleep in our own beds. Provided you don’t get snarled up on the M25 at the Bridge, you can usually get through in under 2 hours. And the stand looks so…

Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie step-by-step from the weekend, before we hit the road and trundle up to Leyburn, North Yorkshire for our Clarity Open Day Extravaganza up north. What a busy week this is! Dodging spite-soaked arrows from nay sayers, whilst scrambling to get all the orders sent out on time, get out the door to Leyburn and get my Dad taken care of. Long story short. The NHS let him down badly (very badly), …
Hi there. Thanks for dropping in. Wednesday’s blog is the day when we look at that richest of all tapestries: LIFE. This evening I would like to raise the subject of negativity. Not for long. Don’t intend to get sucked into it. Just want to straighten out a couple of points. I knew we would come under fire the minute we came up with the new Picot cutting Dies combined with Groovi plates, which we launched on Sunday evening. Linda…
