Winter is nigh...

Summer seems well and truly over, with just a hint of sunshine now and then, and that the sort of sunshine you can see rather than feel... Summer was a good one this year, and it was great to see a lot of new faces in the shop, as well as familiar ones. If we could be as busy as it has been over summer all year round, then it would be very good thing indeed, however that is not the case and the task of finding stuff to sell over winter begins.

The first task is getting people in the shop in the first place, you can't sell stuff to non existent customers (well you can but it's weird). We will be supplying heat logs for open fires and wood burners again this year courtesy of Calor, as well as this we may be having kindling too but this is not enough to keep us going! So what is to be done? Well advertising some Christmas presents will be a start, but one major consideration is opening a fully operational workshop for caravan and Motor homes. This won't happen in the next few weeks, but it should give a boost for next winter.

The sledges, snow shovels and other wintery products have arrived in stock, just need the snow to come along. Another thing that has come along is the Kendal Camping Kangoo, our new van will be jazzed up with logos and information any time now and can be seen round about the local area and on caravan sites when we get call outs! The van will be another shop front for our customers on sites to see, and will carry a few essentials should you need them when we are doing work on a van. Pictures will appear very soon....
There is more potentially exciting news for us, but that will be kept under wraps until we get confirmation!
