Merry Christmas 2020!
By jove it has been a difficult year. I remember the year 1919 as being equally difficult after 4 years of damaging war in Europe we had to face the Pandemic that was the Spanish Flu.

A Penny for your Farthing?
You must understand first that when I started this great adventure in confection there was not a bicycle to be seen. 20 years after my beginnings here the boneshaker arrived and by jove it did indeed shake my bones. One journey down the local lane gave my body a full batty-fang and that was enough for me. … Continue reading A Penny for your Farthing?
