Boxes & diggers


The normal peaceful working environment I enjoy has been shattered with the arrival of diggers / builders and rounds of tea making. I'm not complaining though - we moved in a year ago and the front badly needed to be finished. The nice thing is, that I know the lads, as we are using the same builder, Dean Manning, and they are a good bunch.
It was a bit of an unknown as to when they were going to turn up, so I had gone ahead and ordered my hamper boxes. Luckily for the delivery driver he managed to sneak into the drive in between concrete pours.
Empty boxes certainly take up a lot of room - and the wicker trays, hampers and outers are now stashed into every conceivable hiding place. I had also ordered some shrink wrap to go over the finished hampers - and I made a few up on Friday. They looked the bees knees - our American friend who was staying over the weekend, ended up taking a few of the finished sets away with him.
This week its prep for the Four Shires Show in Banbury, this Sunday. Fingers crossed the weather stays fine. I am also putting together some special offers, as it is our first birthday next week - keep an eye out for our newsletter.
