      That was a ride! The last month of the year is upon us, it came along pretty quickly too in what has been a busy 2023. I hope you are all prepping yourselves for your own kind of Christmas and will enjoy some soirees and gatherings with friends and family. Definitely a quiet one here with plenty of relaxing, parlour games (sounds a bit weird that) and long chilly walks.  The last of my deliveries has been made and the rails are looking fabulously low, this time of year my aim is to be as low on...

        Having just returned from a little half term break I totally forgot on the actual day the anniversary of the first ever shop opening. 4th November 2013 I took up residence at number 15 Herbert Street for a 2 month test...a couple of move abouts later 10 years have passed and I am grateful to still be here.

You will find plenty more gift ideas being added to the website and also in store...

Despite this last minute sunshine show I have gone all out Autumn already and both shops now have a great range of garments ready to charge up your wardrobe for Autumn/Winter. The challenge for me will be getting it on the website for you quick enough.  I have crazy print shirts to wear with gloriously vibrant magic trousers, dresses for those floaty Autumn days with boots and a knit. Also on the way is new knitwear from our Goose Island collection and...

  I have just returned from a West coast wander in Scotland and it was just beautiful. Lots of walking, island visiting, photographs, food and fresh air was had and we topped our trip off with a UCI World Championship road race in Glasgow and absolutely loved it. I could say it's back to normal now but it isn't, there's a a lot of shenanigan going on this week as I join my lovely buddy of 40 years in her new venture in Powys.
