Just back from a lovely week on the Sintra coast in Portugal. It was a lazy one, we saw lots of pretty things, ate way too much, jumped lots of big waves and forgot to post the postcards – will this do instead?!

I’m not knocking the Brits obsession with DIY, but Portugal was refreshing, things are ramshackle and the people seem more interested in relaxing than plastering.

Hello, we’re taking our summer break this week. A bit late I know but we’re hoping Portugal will be sunny for us and if it isn’t we’ll hang out eating seafood and dreaming up new ideas for the 2010 collection. We’ll be back in the studio on Tuesday 13th October, so any orders will be dispatched promptly on our return.
In the meantime, thanks to Grand Designs for giving us a shout in their November Issue, my Mum rang me on her way back from WH Smiths yesterday, cheers for your scanning skills Mum.
