I am off to have a short winter break next weekend, so the shop will be closed from Tuesday August 9th and re opening Saturday  August 20th. 
Wendy will be happy to meet you on Saturday 20th, then I will be back on Tuesday 23rd.

Meeting old customers

It's lovely to finally meet up face to face with customers you've dealt with from afar for some time, and yesterday it was a pleasure to meet Melleney and Gloria from Cambridge New Zealand. Pleased I could be of further service to you both. Wonder if we'll meet again either here or there ???

Parking a nightmare

Parking outside Li'l Bloke's is not for the faint hearted.
A building is going up two doors away  and work will continue until the end of February.
With Marilyn on at the Art gallery( which finishes  this Sunday 10th July) most,  if not all of the parks opposite are taken for the entire  3 hour limit.
We have had some issues ( hopefully now past)  with workmen's  cars/trucks also taking up the remaining two parks outside mine and the neighbouring shops.
