Title: Christmas Shopping
Post by: mrs bouquet on July 03, 2020, 11:35: Don't all shout at me, but I have just had delivery of a present ordered for my Daughter and husband.
You may remember I asked why the blue tits died in their box, was it due to the heat. You replied, yes.
and somebody mentioned a box made but Schweggler, which is Clay and Concrete. I looked at them on line, and because Daughter was so upset, I decided to buy them one for Christmas.
The reason I have purchased it so early is because a) the Company might not exist at Christmas, and b) if we get another total lockdown it may not arrive. So my aged wisdom said buy now.
It has arrived, boxed with care and including a lovely brochure of all their other goodies and feeds etc.
It also included a small packet of nice biscuits for me !!!
But, as you said, it is very heavy. So thanks to all of you for the input for my shopping :) Mrs Bouquet
