Fantastic Service

Yesterday,13th February, my wife emailed me at work to say that she had seen a bracelet she liked on your web site and gave me the link to your page. Being a typical man, I'd left my valentines day shopping to the very last minute so followed the link and bought the bracelets. To my total amazement, my order was processed and dispatched within 8 minutes!! ...and the bracelet duly arrived in the post at 9am this morning - less than 24 hours later!! I was able to give my wife the bracelets over breakfast on Valentines Day! I don't know which one of us was more delighted... Thank you so much for a fantastic service.

Care in the community at 11

Lily is my friend's new collie puppy who is in training to be a "working" (in a fair trade, nice home, lots of cuddles, loved by her mum way) sheep dog. I get regular updates on how its going, being her "dog" mother and this is the latest I had to share...
A while ago I took her on a walk and let go of the lead, and she followed me all the way! Great. So the next day I took her off the lead completely, and she went ahead of me and then wouldn't come back. She did lie down when told to, but then as I approached she would run away. She ran back home but on the way came face to face with 6 boys on bikes. They were brilliant. I ran up and asked them to stop. The leader of the pack, probably about 11 yelled to the others, "stop! There's a really scared dog here!" They all stopped and waited whilst I managed to get her back on the lead. They let us by and I thanked them, they said "that's what we're here for". Bless the little darlings.
