We said last month that it wouldn't be long before the daffodils flowered and as usual they look stunning. If you are coming to see us in the next few days I'm sure you will agree.

With carpets of golden blooms everywhere, perhaps it's the perfect time to come on a Wordsworth homage. If you do don't forget to pop in to see us in Grasmere.

Both our stores are tastefully crammed this month with new season goodies. For the first time we have a pets corner with cute goodies for your pampered cat or dog - some of these will be available online very soon. You'll also find that we have lots of tips and gift ideas to help you spring clean your home in style!

Finally, our new seasonal section is devoted to patio - from enamalled potting buckets to books crammed full of tips for your garden. In fact everything to make it look as if you know what you are doing!
