We’ve been a bit quiet on the blog for the past week or so – nothing untoward is going on, we’re just busy, really<\/em> busy. We’ve had a lot of orders lately, far more than we’d usually expect this time of year, on top of which there’s been a restock order for one of our overseas stockists plus<\/em> initial stock orders for not one but two new UK stockists. All of this has left us about a week behind on mail order – everything that arrived on or before January 30th has been posted, and a few from Jan 31st have also gone but that’s as far as it goes.<\/p>\n

To complete this perfect storm of delays is, well, another storm!

But when the weather eases we’ll be back at the centrifuge at full pace and getting orders out of the door.<\/p>\n

In the meantime I’m going to use my unscheduled snow day to work on some new releases – we have a lot of models lined up in various stages of readiness across most of the ranges so the extra time to work on them is a definite bonus. Here are a few of them…<\/p>\n
