SAVE US FROM OUR STOCKTAKE!

Another busy week desperately trying to sell as much as possible before the looming stock take at the end of March. I figure (quite rightly) the more we sell the less we have to count. The trouble is, we keep buying – I suspect at a faster rate then we’re selling! Last year it took 1½ days just to count up and record the codes on all our printers’ blocks – they’re all unique and so require separate codes! If you want to experience the joys of number blindness, come and help us out!

The stuffed badger now has some new friends. A red squirrel in a case and some sort of small bird in a cage. Apparently they were from a small provincial museum. Our stuffed parrot, meanwhile, has parked itself next to the till and keeps a beedy lookout as only parrots can.

Recently we bought a Canadian Pine table from a lovely lady in Meldreth. The table has 2 wide planks making up the top and is a classic American design, I think, and the first one we’ve ever come across. Of course, there is lots of ‘stuff’ coming in all the time but if people would just buy as much as possible before the end of March it would make the stock take a little easier – thank you!
