Sometimes, I feel like I am a real hero, rescuing distressed damsels with dissertation stress! A week ago, a student called me from Holland, she had been studying in Sheffield. I was going to have the files sent via e mail, print, bind and deliver to the Uni. To cut a long story short, the [...]
Or so it should be, but it seems to get harder! Two weeks ago, the second of my computers died, leaving me to resurrect an old one, last used about 6 years ago! The upside is that I found a file with some old jokes in, but the thing was so unbelievably slow, it has [...]
Well, I suppose just about every job is an all-time first, as dates change, prices alter, phone numbers are changed etcetera, but I mean that the job I have just completed is one I have never been called on before: a Pedigree Certificate for a litter of puppies!
The parents, grand parents, great-grandparents and even great-great [...]
First, a huge thank you to all of our clients who keep me so busy. The company will be on annual shut-down from Monday September 20th until Friday Sept 24th, I hope this causes no inconvenience. We start our UK tour in Llansanfraid-ym-Mechain on Saturday 21st, then on to Cardigan, Minehead, Lyme Regis, and collecting [...]

Let me [...]
We started the week with a request for Orders of Service for a funeral. A sad time for the family involved, but I like to think we play an important part in the occasion, with our sympathetic but constructive help. Also going through the system as I have mentioned in earlier posts, stationery for no [...]
And still no signs of summer! We are in the silly season, where sometimes we think the phone lines are broken! No lack of orders though: which is partly why I haven’t updated lately. I currently have two weddings in progress, for which the stationery of both is going to be quite stunning! Obviously, I [...]
and it is an art! Sod’s Law dictates that if the client does not check the artwork and typesetting, but just tells you to print, what can go wrong will! I remember a few years back, I had taken a piece of masonic gubbins to be engraved, and the engraver spelled one of the words [...]
‘fraid so! Thank you all for keeping me so busy lately. I am away though, from Wednesday 7th July until Tuesday 13th, my son James and I are off to Classic Le Mans. Will be busy for you until then though, I won’t even be playing golf on Thursday!
