As a nation we've lost our way with the needle and thread! There is absolutely no doubt that consumers are showing a much greater level of interest in products that are Made in Britain and it's increasingly apparent that more and more retailers want to return production back to the UK. The sentiment is great but the realities are more...

There's little better than stumbling across the unexpected and being enchanted by what you find. Essentially that's exactly what happened when I attended the launch of the Inchyra Arts Club in Perthshire. The immaculately renovated Byre at Inchryra House is to enjoy an entirely new existence as a music and events venue just a stone's throw from Scotland's fair city...

Sloe Gin has never really done it for me. I want to like it but I usually find it too medicinal and sickly at the same time.

Typically, however, the British population tends to jump...

The health benefits of copper have been well known for a long time as it’s a vital trace element for all living things. Now clinical trials have begun to see if copper infused pyjamas really are a cure for the hospital superbug, MRSA? In December 2012 a woman nearly died after contracting MRSA, however she claims her life was saved...

Imagine our surprise to hear from a customer looking for pyjamas to match his fish!  After double checking that we hadn't misheard the request and we weren't the victim of an obscure prank, our dalliance with the aquatic world of fish in pyjamas began. Our task was to find a pair of pjs that would match a 'Pyjama Wrasse'.  A...

According to a recent survey Christmas shoppers who complete all their gift-buying in November can expect to save more than £80 on their total spend.
