Follow your dream
If you have a dream then follow it. Try all you can to make it a success. We are looking back over 30 years of running our own business. Every year was a challenge and in 1995 very few had heard of the internet, facebook did not exist and not many people had a mobile phone. We printed catalogues and as time passed we created a web site and worked hard. We worked hard not only on our business but had to supplement our income by taking on other jobs. These varied from Postmistr
