Story behind the Plug: Children’s Hospital
Marc RileySo, the last couple of weeks have been busy, different, interesting! Lots of new products being last minute designed for Mother’s Day, making and sending out lots of lovely Mother’s Day gifts with messages that have made us so happy, making Albi’s Easter Hat for the school Easter Hat Parade in April (which you can see in all its glory in the picture below!) and an unplanned trip to Sheffield Children’s Hospital A&E.

We were in India at the time and it was a horrible phonecall from the garden of a café in Ooty, Tamil Nadu, to sister in law Jen to find out the news. We’ll be forever grateful for the...
