No probs. I'm just trying to avoid being locked down before I have to be, which I accept will be very very soon. But I wouldn't do anything to endanger other people.

No, I realise that and I'm a dick, sorry. Enjoy your freedom.

I absolutely love your friend's pictures, Pip. I'm going to buy one, just need to work out which as they are all lovely.

I wish she was my friend! I have three of her pictures on my walls, and would love an original.

I recommended this place on the stockpiling thread; they do lovely coffee & will do anything as decaff. I can’t speak for the online service as I normally go in store in Ashby-de-la-Zouch ( :snooty: ) but the coffee is lovely. The store is run by the lovely Sarah, and her sister runs the company. https://shop.cherizena.co.uk/

Belvoir is pronounced Beaver, by the way.

I knew about the beaver. :evil:

I want to pimp out Partner's niece's shop again. I love her earrings and her day job is heavily reliant on business travel to China so we are worried about her career.

Me too! My friend was thrilled with the ones I gave her.

I ordered from https://rebelliousgoods.com/ last night - amazing wine and craft beers delivered within an hour (!) in London, no minimum order. They do deliver all over the UK usually, but DPD are no longer doing deliveries, which seems mental. It's a small, new company.

That place looks great! I had some wine delivered the other day so probably shouldn’t buy anything else yet, but will bookmark it, thanks.

I think they're based near you, Ella :stalker:, so maybe you'll be able to get stuff in even less time. At least that's where they were coming from when they sent me a Waze link to track them last night :love:

Thanks for this recommendation, Pipples. I can’t spend a lot on anything just now, but she was doing 10 cards for £10 when I looked and they came today. They are SO lovely.

My lovely friend's brewery - most of their online stock is local pick up only (just outside Glasgow) but I think you can pay for postage for the slabs of cans. I don't drink beer but they've won loads of awards and several pubs have them on tap.

Her and her Dad built it up from nothing, and she's going in this morning to tell her 8 employees they might not have jobs soon.
That’s sad Viggy. That place is near where I live - I’m not much of a beer fan myself but I’ll give them a mention on our local Facebook page (no mention of you obviously!)

I like this thread and will enjoy having a browse at the websites later! I love a gift shop. :love2:
