Hi there. Thanks for joining me. So that was it for another year. We celebrated being in business for 27 years this weekend. Being in business or staying in business? Well, right now it certainly feels more like the latter! Running a business certainly got more challenging this year! Just got to go with the flow… All good though.

Oooh Plums! Oooh Cherries! Oooh Mango! etc etc etc. 3…
