As you can see from the picture there is an actual toad in a hole and the presence of said toad led to a downing of tools by a friend building an extension, because  he is absolutely petrified of toads. Which is more shocking when you know that he is a well built 6 foot 5 inches tall and I’m not sure how he could be more manly!  And it is called Ranidaphobia which is an intense, irrational fear...

Now I don’t know about you but I doubt I’ll be up at 6 a.m. for the start of the proceedings and as you can tell from writing this I’m not one of those hardy souls already camped out on the Mall in London to get the best perch for the Coronation...

The coronation memorabilia you should buy right now

We were absolutely thrilled to be recommended on ITV’s top morning show, This Morning Live with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield and there the coronation memorabilia you should buy right now and we delighted to see Phillip handling our lovely paperweight and talking about future antiques. And now you can see the interchange on the ITV website...

Now we will be getting big heads if we are not careful. Hot on the heels of being featured on ITV’s This Morning Live in a feature entitled Coronation “Memorabilia Worth Collecting” and our fabulous cut crystal paperweight with the Royal CR cipher designated as a “future antique,” by the ITV show we are in the news again. And it’s not the hit TV show Bridgerton either, even though our glassware is...

As Seen on TV— Our Paperweight Takes Centre Stage

This Morning Live with Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield is ITV’s top rated morning show and from 10 am until the arrival of Loose Women  at 12:30 it holds sway over the airways and pulls in a million or more viewers a day.  So when  those one million viewers see Rochelle Hume and Phillip Schofield coo over our product on live TV and Phillip...

The interior of the Mackintosh building at the Glasgow School of Art has been likened to ruined cathedral”  and it is slow going at the moment. While that genuine ruined cathedral and monument to French Culture Notre Dame de Paris is taking shape again rather faster.

I had the family here at the beach over the Easter weekend, so it was lucky that the weather was so good. The breeze was a little stiff, but we are hardy folk and wrapped up in the colder spells and stripped off in the warmer ones and managed to fit in some garden table...

There are going to be a lot of bank holidays shortly and none more important than the coronation of the new king, the first for 70 years. The scramble for invitations to the ‘do’ is well under way and there are many fewer attendees this time around for safety reasons, so many will be disappointed. So if you don’t have one like me, you’ll be watching at home, or perhaps you’ll venture down to the Metropolis...

The West Indies in the winter, it sounds like a dream and believe me I have dreamed about it, as has the missus. In fact she goes further and regularly says that before she met me she could go every year for a break to St Lucia and play tennis in the sun in the winter, just as she always did. I always reply, there’s nothing to stop you dearest, but it gets a scowl. But one lucky female has made it...

What do you do first thing in the morning? Are you like the members of our household and do Wordle yet again to keep your winning run on the go? Yes we are hooked. Rather less so than in the beginning, but still firmly under the thumb of those pesky setters in the offices of the New York Times. At this very moment I am under the darkened skies of a marital fatwa - if I interrupt the missus while she...
