In retrospect, it was foolish to try to birth a second baby, move house, launch an organic bedding range and completely rebuild our existing website all within the space of two months. Actually all of that would have been possible if we had actually had internet access for the first month we were in our new place. An internet business and no internet connection is a particularly bad combination, you see. There are certainly more effective and enjoyable ways to run a business than from McDonalds, partaking of the free wi-fi!
I feel slightly nauseous thinking about those few hideous weeks, and simultaneously smug about just how organised we now are! Hurrah. I feel I need to come clean about the fact that The Fox is no longer of Dulwich. When we set up the business I couldn't envisage ever living anywhere but Dulwich, but the lure of the country, free babysitting and a home with ample space to allow a rapidly expanding business to grow were all too attractive. So the Fox is no longer of Dulwich, but rather in a North Essex village, a few miles from the Suffolk border.
I am loving my little trips to the local country post offices to post off all my goodies. The one in Nayland, in addition to being decked out with the greatest antique furniture has very tempting displays of Emma Bridgewater, fabulous wrapping paper and Lindt chocolate. Random, but I love it.
