Elsie helping out!

Hi and thank you to everyone who visited us at the Alexandra Palace show this weekend, it was a super show and the sun shone too, which was great!

We are busy sorting ourselves out before our next show at Thetford this Sunday 17 May, but thought we would share this picture of Elsie sitting on Carol's knee:



Elsie & Carol hard at work!

I think we will have her answering the phone soon and maybe designing some stamps - any guesses what her preference would be?
