Very quick note from me to explain why our checkout has grown more difficult to get through… We’ve been receiving hundreds of orders from fake addresses which we have to refund. So in response I’ve had to make the checkout harder to get through. I’ll make it easier as soon as the attack moves on … Read more
When the whole herd goes in one direction it is a wise sheep who follows. So then to our seasonal sale! Our Reindeer Skins, while stocks last, are at half price – and this week is a great time to buy Cottage Cream sheepskin, the mainstay of our trade and a happy addition to any … Read more
