Thinking of having a picnic?

Sometimes when we try out something new we don't know if its a good idea or not or if it will take off.

Take this new Picnic Cool Bag that we've just had in for example.  Its something we've never done before but I think its so in keeping of what we're all about.

The benefits of this cool bag is that its the shiny silver lining inside will keep your sarnies nice and cool.  There's one feature that I particularly like, its the fact there's a compartment for storing your wine!

See, we have tried it ourselves and for me thats a winner!

And the other thing that make's it even more of a winner is that its only £20! 



As you can imagine for that price, they are flying out, even when there's still a wintry feel outside.

I would say if you're starting to get ready for summer and longing for those long evenings on the beach then this is an ideal thing to have and there's a WINE compartment!!

Well what to blog...

 I'm back after a week off and whats the goss?? Anyone?

Well apparently none!  Its like I've never been away!

And it did go rather quick and now I'm back in my little shop, it feels like I've never been away!

Well what did I do on my week off? I went and visited Bude for the day where GulBude looked after me with curly fries and cups of tea (Thanks Cai, pasty is on me when you're next down here!).

And I then ventured down to St Ives as I haven't been down there since I was a mere nipper and thought this was the ideal time to go down and have a look - lovely little town but just a pity it was bucketing it down so I couldn't see much of this obviously pretty little town but I did sample the Gul shop though! And saw a seal bobbing about in the sea! 

One thing I did do quite a bit whilst on my week off, was a lot of walking and taking pictures of the lovely view I have literally on my door step... 

...isn't it lovely?

Whilst I'm here (and I should be working) I'd like to draw your attention to the fact we still have a great sale going on and a whisper of new bits from our 2011 Spring/Summer range coming in!

Come and see us! 

Gul wetsuit spotted on telly!

My parents are getting good at this!

They happened to be watching a documentary on BBC4 the other day called Wild Swimming and the lady, Alice Roberts, was actually wearing one of our wetsuits!  A Vortex in fact!

Well done Mum and Dad!! Good to know that you're taking an interest! ha!

Wow what a day...

This is the kind of weather we have at the moment and my god what a beautiful day!

Isn't it tempting enough to come and see us?

A week ago...

Can you believe it was a week ago it was New Years Day?  A start of another new year?

No nor can we!

After the usual busyness of Christmas and the celebrations of

New Year, January can feel somewhat flat, lifeless and not much to look forward to other than payday!

You're certainly not alone there but we here in Padstow are on hand to uplift your spirits as we still have a brilliant sale with the raise of the new VAT not affecting it one little bit.

And just think we're a few steps closer to those longer, bright evenings with the promise of summer and I know we're all longing for that!
And this picture below of Crantock just as the suns going down, certainly makes us long for the sunny, long evenings.  Oooo its not long now.

But while you're waiting for this why not pop into see us and treat yourself to something special and a dam right bargain at the same time!
It might just help pass the time...
