I am away from the island for ten days, roughly until 23rd March – visiting family in england …

I was supposed to be sailing this afternoon, but my ferry was cancelled due to the high winds currently whistling around the island. The only high winds in the previous or next weeks, and they come today …!

I am still contactable by email, and my ladies will be looking after the shop, and will be making up the mail-orders I forward to them, but there may be a slight delay in posting these orders, as that’s what I usually look after, when I’m here …!

I hope you’ll forgive any delays, during this period .

At least it’s looking more likely that Spring is finally here … whilst the gales are ravishing all and sundry, full sun is beating down here …!
