How are we in December already, the year is whizzing by? My friends have said it feels like they’ve only just dropped offspring off at university, and they’ll soon be back for the holidays, with mountains of washing and raids on the fridge!
Reflecting on November
The clocks have gone back, the afternoons are suddenly dark and it really does feel like winter’s here already.
No, not Christmas- Halloween! Don’t come to me with any complaints about it being an American holiday- yes, they sent it stratospheric (and I approve- imagine New Orleans on October 31st, my ideal party!), but Halloween dates back on these very islands to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, over 2,000 years ago.
New term, new website, new no-stress resolutions.
Hi, Vicki back on the blog again (and wondering why there are dog hairs on the keyboard? Would you know anything about that, Stella?)
How’s your September going?
Hello and woof- Stella here again! (UAL MD, office collie mascot and all-round superdog).
After my triumphant blog takeover last month (read here for my wisdom on kitting up for holiday fun), my ‘Good Girl’ reward is another go!
Stella here! UAL “office mascot” collie.
Vicki’s so busy with the schools breaking up, so I thought I’d show willing and step up. I’m usually sitting with my head on her lap as she types, so I reckon I’m halfway to being in charge anyway!
Holidays are always a busy time, with lots of FUN kits (rather than school uniforms) being chosen for sports, adventures, holiday clubs, Brownies, Guides, gymnastics, dance groups, five a side- all fantastic ways to have fun and make friends in the holidays.
Cheer up, everyone, there’s plenty of action on the horizon. Our seats were booked on the sofa for the Champion’s League final Saturday 1st, then it’s Euro Fever 14 June – 14 July- and we’re favourites (apparently)?! Although Stella, our Mad Dog extraordinaire, says watch out for France; and there’s not much she doesn’t know about tackling!
Confession time: It took me three days to start this blog; not because it’s a chore, it’s one of the most enjoyable parts of my job; I just had to battle past 100 things shouting for attention in my head.
Does spring inspire you to deep clean the house, or is that a step too far? Just as the sunshine highlights dusty windows, we’ve realised it’s time our website gets a good wash too (even behind the ears!)
So, we’ll be refreshing it over the next few weeks, to give our great clothing ranges the spotlight they deserve.
We are making changes to our website to make it easier for our lovely visitors to find their way around, navigate to exactly the products and information you want and we’ll be adding new pages and new products regularly. Call it our new years’ resolution for 2024!
