Hi there. Thanks for popping in. The weather is a little drab here darn sarf, so we’re off up to London for a business meeting! Wednesday’s blog – the day we speak about matters of the heart and soul, right? One thing I learned a long time ago was restraint of pen and tongue. I cannot help the thoughts that come into my head, but I certainly don’t have to voice them. And when somebody attacks me or provokes me,…
Hi there! Thanks for popping in. Having a day off today. Well. Having a day away from the office is more accurate. But that’s okay. I love just being at home, even if I AM working! It’s Dave’s birthday, so he’s working in the garden! The NEC already seems a million miles away and as many years! Mind you, we did sign up for the March Show 2018, which we haven’t done for a couple of years, so that will…
Hi there. Thanks for popping in. Had to go into work and sign 100 of the new Calendars early this morning. Had to give a very special book which is going to print today the last look over. Had to check the New Design Club projects, to make sure they all made sense. Had to pay some bills, this n that. You know how it goes…. a usual catch up Monday after almost a week at the NEC. But then…

Hi There!!Thanks for popping in. Just a quickie. We’re having what is popularly termed a bit of a Cluster F••k here. Internet on go slow. Signs all fell off the wall at the stand during the night. Nobody knows how to load the price gun. And to crown it all, I burnt me tongue on the coffee. Grrrrr……. But on a happy note, Brother Steve got up here safely with fresh stock because we have had a stonking 2 days…

Hi there, Thanks for popping in ! Here we are at the NEC, all set to entertain. (There is super free WIFI here, so I shall blog in the mornings, before the show begins while we’re here, said the opportunist) The stand is huge and beautiful. You cannot imagine how much work goes into the planning and prepping before we even get here! (said the control freak) Rosie is all set to entertain across the way. She will be doing…
