So the sale is all over for another year – this time we’ve been unusually efficient with turning orders around, although there are still a few remaining that came in on Thursday and Friday for me to mop up this week. However, all sale orders should ship by Christmas barring anything unforeseen.<\/p>\n

I’m at the workshop for the first half of this week and will continue to process any new orders as they come in. The last posting date for all overseas destinations has gone, so although I will still post out orders, don’t expect to see them until well after Christmas now. The exception is UK orders – I will endeavour to get all remaining sale orders for the UK posted before last post (Wednesday), but anything else will probably not make it for Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

The website will remain open as always, but we’re taking next week off, so any orders placed after the middle of this week will have to wait until the New Year. Once the sale orders have gone I’ll be concentrating on admin, some maintenance and tidying around the workshop, and hopefully some design work on new items. I’ll return to the workshop on Tuesday January 3rd after the New Year bank holiday.<\/p>\n
