Hey everyone. What a beautiful weekend!
Hope you have all been able to get outside and soak up a bit of sunshine.
 
Well not a lot of news to report this week sorry, as we had to postpone our visit to The Boltholder, but we wish Peter and Ineke Thissen and David and Lissette Hulme a very big Congratulations for 40 Fantastic years in business. To learn the story of a business started from nothing to the fantastic business it is today is a true tribute to the people behind the name. Well done to you all and may you continue to grow.
