One of our old wedding clients renewed their wedding vows, and asked us to create something a little bit special again. It was great for us to be able to express ourselves.

New Autumnal Range

The new autumnal range is available on our web site now to order, yes believe it or not the end of summer is finally here, time to pack those BBQ's away (did we ever get them out in the first place??).

more web site updates

Also over the next week or so we will be adding PayPal payments via our RBS Worldpay gateway, so if you use PayPal for ordering, we will soon be able to accept that type of payment as well.

Web Site Updates

Just thought we would update you on some details on web site firstly. We have had our tech bods do some small changes to the checkout stage of the e-boutique, so now instead of adding the delivery address to your address book and selecting from the b...ook, we have now changed this to a standard address form which you can fill in at the checkout stage, making ordering a bit quicker and simpler
