A bit of time wasting

We found this website last night Internet Movie Cars Database. Initially we were quite shocked by how much time people have to waste on weird internet projects, as soon as we inputted a few vehicles we were sucked in ourselves.

Our favourite was the Skoda Felicia (for personal reasons), although the Vauxhall Chevette as a main stay in the Likely Lads film was quite cool.

If you do give it a look make sure you click on a couple of the movies/car images and look at the comments.

Tarpaulin Trousers



We've been making our Tent Trousers for a while. Just before Christmas we found some old tarpaulins made out of an interesting linen/flax type fabric. So made a pair of 'Tent Trousers' out of tarpauling. Here is Ed making a sample pair.

He made the first sample before Christmas, laundered them and has worn them ever since. The fabric gives the trousers a really nice relaxed look. Hopefully we'll get them photographed and up onto the website soon, but if you're interested we're happy to send out 'non-website-standard' photos to give an idea of what they're like.

Pure Ukrainian Fun

It's a bit convoluted but the above link relates to the Flicker file of photos from the opening of a new shop called Pure in Kyiv, Ukraine. Tanya whose shop it is bought a whole load of stock from us in the summer and finally the shop has opened with goods from across the globe.

So if you're ever passing by it looks a whole lot of fun to drop in on, particularly if you're a fan of oranges.

Everybody needs a Noel

He fixed our keyboard when we lost our 'c' and 'x' keys. For several months we had sort alternatives to words with either letter, you have to be faithful rather than sincere and use a laptop not a computer. Eventually we admitted defeat and ordered a new keyboard. He also kicked our central heating system into action and is our Webmaster. So all in all we think it's very useful to have Noel around.
