Hi everyone,

Just a quick sorry and ooooops for our site being down for the last couple of days. Of course these things always happen when you are out of the office for a couple of days and have to try to deal with the issues when you aren't in the right place LOL

But the Website Shopping and our Gallery (phew!!) are all back up and running again!!

Will be catching up on the emails that have backed up too tomorrow ... thanks for your patience everyone :-)
