We’ve had to make another brief closure of the website this week. Tony has been struggling with some sort of viral or bacterial infection for a little while, and has finally had to admit defeat and take a few days off to report to the MO and try and clear it up. Since he does all of the casting, packing and processing of orders, it effectively brings operations at Brigade to a halt. So rather than accumulate a big backlog of orders while he’s off, it makes more sense to shut the website until he’s fighting fit again.<\/p>\n
