Title: Pendraken on holiday Mon 14th - Tues 22nd!
Post by: Leon on 10 August 2017, 04:04:35 PM
We're taking a short summer break this year, so we'll be closed from Mon 14th - Tuesday 22nd!

(https://scontent.flhr4-2.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-0/s480x480/20664626_10155290867990412_4990700074117670001_n.jpg?oh=b9619352da6e558dc47fb3a11ac9c431&oe=5A258EF4)

There will still be people in casting and packaging, so any orders placed before 3pm on Sunday will be shipped out while we're away.  Any orders placed after that time won't be processed until we're back in the office on Wednesday 23rd.

Milady's parents have treated us all to a week in Portugal, so we'll be getting some sun for a change!

Well done Milady's Parents. (I feel they should be capitalised.)

Portugal, eh? Was the previous post about not doing the Peninsula War a ruse?  :-\

Enjoy, enjoy, a thousand times enjoy.

Hi leon,

I hope you all have a wonderful holiday and some well earned rest.

Some tips

Explain to kids (obviously out of earshot of In-laws.) that Grandma and Grandpa ( Insert whatever name you give them). Have booked this holiday especially so that they can spend time with their Grandchildren and that  when they wake up they should go and find Grandma and Grandpa. 

Also Grandma and Grandpa are expecting to be played with lots on the holiday so make it a nice time for them by asking them to play, build sandcastles etc.

Also explain that "old people" do not like naps in the afternoon on the  beach or by the pool as its not good for them. It is good for Mum and Dad though.

mention to Inlaws  on some mornings that M'lady is not feeling too well and is consequently is having a bit of a lay in, you feel bad for her so think you should stay with her.

:D :D

Enjoy your break and don't worry about your other children, by that I mean those that live in the Pendraken Forum as I'm sure they are big enough to look after themselves for a few days  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Right, time for those casting dwarves to part-y!   <:-P <:-P <:-P <:-P

Who's got the mushroom gin?

The worm, beetle and slug canapes go over there, and I think we'll have the "pin the tail on the Dark Lord" over there.

And I'm back!  I've worked through about 150 emails today so most folks should have had a reply and all the orders are in the system.  I'll be getting last weeks postage confirmed on Thursday and then we can start getting some releases prepped as well.

All that way just to look at the sea. You could have done that, here, in the NE!

Lived in Scotland all my life, holidayed South, North, East and West, never been bitten by a midge.

Post by: Leon on 25 August 2017, 04:58:03 PM
Midges are attracted by certain blood types and scents, so some people can be completely left alone by them.  My mother-in-law gets swarmed as soon as they see her, passing by everyone else to get to her, so my father-in-law is rarely bothered by them.  I seem to be quite attractive to them myself, we went camping in Kielder a couple of years ago and both me and the youngest were bitten constantly, while Adele and the eldest weren't targeted as much.
