Due to the Covid-19 virus pandemic sweeping the world, it is to be expected that postal services will be affected globally.
Your orders will continue to be processed and posted by me as per my normal operating Ts & Cs (see General Terms & Conditions - Shipping & Dispatch), however, once they are in the hands of the postal services, they are beyond my control or influence. I ask that you please be patient – your orders will get to you as soon as is humanly possible.
Thank you. Mike XO (Sept 2020) Dismiss
Hello from Hamilton, a city in the middle of the North Island of New Zealand. I wanted to encourage you, & Ian, in your efforts to keep us & yourselves occupied whilst undergoing the “isolation “. All the videos past & present are a real pleasure & I’ve been working my way through the new little challenges as they come in , love them & I get to rummage through all the folders filled with cut-outs etc gleaned over many years. The added bonus is of course finding a long-lost picture that’s perfect for yet another glue book etc. etc. Being shut in doesn’t hold any terrors for us , as my husband can at last catch up on all those gardening, inside painting jobs & I get to watch you driving about your streets with pleasure. Yes, my husband gets to view the goods too & admires Ian’s creations greatly. I’ve always loved steampunk & perhaps you already k now there’s two big towns here, 1 in the South Island & the other at Thames, north of here where they have a thriving steampunk community & often hold a week – long happening & the whole town dresses up & all the shops are decorated. We went over to Thames last November & because it is an old gold-mining town there is always loads of tourists about & it was priceless just watching the reaction when some poor Asian man would be grabbed up by a blousy, chorus girl for a dance down the street. Hopefully someday soon Thames will be able to gather up the pieces & start again; without the tourists it may take awhile. We are in our 80’s so have actually already done more than 4 weeks as over 70’s went into isolation before the official level 4 came in. It looks like we will stay at 4 for at least 6 weeks & then certain areas may go to 3 to let some industries start up again. The main problem in N.Z. is about a dozen clusters through the country are still producing new patients while big areas have little or no cases. So as we go into Autumn & the temperatures are dropping you can look forward to Spring & see those lovely daffodils cheering you all on. With many grateful thanks, Leone & Clayton Putt.
