FAIR ENOUGH
And incredibly, it’s that time of year again.  We’re booked in to four HUGE ones this year, and paid up and hugely excited – we’re restocking and planning and all systems are very definitely, officially, ‘Go’.  (As if they weren’t...
DECISIONS TO BE MADE
This year we’re a bit behind ourselves.  We normally spend January restocking, and deciding which fairs to go to in the year ahead.  This year we’ve done our big stock-take, reordered, designed and launched a new product, and started on...
OFF WE GO AGAIN
Well!  What a whirlwind that all was … blink and you missed it, but with a bang and a wallop Christmas and New Year both came and went and now we’re into 2024.  Extraordinary to think that all that frenetic...
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
Yesterday was the last of our 2023 Fairs, this time at the magnificently named Grimsthorpe Castle – and it was as jolly cold as it somehow sounds.  From now on it’s all downhill to Christmas, and if the lack of...
MICHAEL BAUBLE...
Another day, another two firsts: we’re at Sandringham Christmas Fair this weekend; and the glorious new baubles, which are going like hot cakes.  Christmas music in the background (thank you Michael), cold enough to feel seasonal, full enough for atmosphere...

A MINI ROAD TRIP

A WHIRLWIND IN EAST ANGLIA...
Coo!  Well that was over in a flash: time flies when you’re busy and having fun: thank you to all who came to see and support us in lovely Thetford.  What a hoot – it’s so exciting to see for...
HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
It’s happening!  It’s day one of the East Anglian Game & Country Fair (and Polly and Mr L&F’s 34th  wedding anniversary, by the way).  How better to spend the weekend than here in the sun? After a somewhat stressful week...
FIRST FAIR OF 2023!
Half way through April already, and we’re preparing for the East Anglian Game & Country Fair, now only a week away.  Just off the A11 on the Euston Estate near Thetford, it’s going to be huge – if you haven’t...
