our BIG news

ooohhh I kept you waiting a bit didn't I?  sorry!
our super-duper amazing news is:.....paper-and-string is moving!  see the barn down there, that is the all new, all singing and all dancing paper-and-string headquarters!
it is rather ginormous and rather fabulous - and it will become even more fabulous once it is full of felt :-)
The reason for the late-in-the-day blog post is that first we had to wait for the lease to complete through the solicitors and then we had a massive rush to get in the car and start to drive to the barn, we're not moving just down the road -we're moving all the way to Dorset (you know, where the 80mph winds and horrid storms are battering the coast right now) and the main road was shut and we drove and drove and drove, but we're here, the barn is still here and not storm tattered...tomorrow I will show you the insides....before we attack them with scrubbing brushes & paintbrushes...but now we have champagne to drink, because getting a new premises has been (very) hard work indeed!
