More snow, more stone,
It’s the first of April and there’s snow on the ground here! Couldn’t be some sort of joke could it? Anyway, doesn’t bode well for the ‘Easter weekend’ in terms of weather. We’ve got a stone fireplace that should be on its way to Edinburgh today, but the snow is still bad up there and the driver has said he thinks it would be unwise to risk it, so we’re not going to. The customer is not desperate to get it installed, so they don’t mind. They’ve always liked our stone fireplaces, and another couple of weeks waiting is preferable to having a driver stuck in the snow in an Easter traffic jam!
But talking of fireplaces, with the weather so cold again, we won’t have seen the last of the log fires after all! The forecast is cold all weekend so many of you will again have your feet up in front of a fire rather than venturing out! Easter is a strange time: Some years we can be basking in sun, other years we can be playing in the snow. 2010 looks to be one of the snowy variety!
If you have had to relight your fires, I hope you’ve not left the kids’ chocolate eggs too near the stone fireplace! There will be tears if all they have is a pile of melted chocolate.. with gold foil mixed in!
So happy Easter to all our customers, and we hope you have a good break and that you’ll be coming to us soon about the things you need in Stone!
