Makaton Nursery Rhymes DVD...........

Hi everyone,

I just thought I would quickly blog to let people know that we have at long last got a supply of Makaton Nursery Rhymes DVD in our shop

We have sold the Makaton Nursery Rhymes for many years now - back in the old days when it was VHS video and ever since it was released on DVD. Most of the sales are from our e-bay shop: Trewhellows Gift Shop Unfortunately, a few DVD wholesalers went out of business last year and early this year, so obtaining the DVD was getting hard.

The good new is, not only have we managed to find a new supplier, but they are cheaper than before so we are passing this saving on to our customers and now sell them for £9.99 with FREE P&P to the U.K.

Why am I so excited about selling one particular DVD?

Well, our eldest child was born with Down's Syndrome and Makaton Sign Language has been invaluable to him all through his life - he is nearly 20 now. It has been a means of communication for him as his speech is very poor.

The DVD with Dave Benson Phillips from the BBC Playdays, has taught all of us in our family how to use Makaton - and it was a brilliant way to entertain the children when they were younger.

I can put my hand on my heart and recommend this DVD to anybody with a child with learning disabilities, language delays or hearing problems.

Best wishes,

Kathryn

Hot topic...SNOW...(or should I say "cold" topic!)

Hi everyone!

I do hope you all enjoyed the snow! I only put my toes out in it to go and see my Mum and make sure she was ok - but I thought it was beautiful to look at.

My children enjoyed it too. My youngest, Sarah (who will be 15 on Saturday) can't really remember snow like it. Any little bit we have had in Cornwall in the past has always melted by lunchtime, so she made the most of it Monday evening and yesterday.

Why do people always have to moan so much when the Country comes to a stand still? Why don't they just lighten up a little and make the most of it!!! One old man was going on about it being like a third world country - miserable old bugger! I would be far more annoyed if Cornwall County Council spent millions on specialist equipment for an event that only happens every 20 years!

I was going to put some photos here - some spooky ones too!!! But, I have just had a phone call and I have to do some work (for a change!!! LOL), so I will post the photos later one.


byeeee for now,

Kathryn

p.s. one of the spooky photos is below - a strange presence in the photo!!!

Spooky!!!

Valentines Day 14th February

Ideas for Valentines Day...................



Do you fancy a romantic holiday to Cornwall, with the envigorating sea air to blow away the cobwebs and fill you with total Zen and relaxation?



Take a long walk along Godrevy Beach, let the sea spray brush against your cheeks and your toes sink into golden sand - hand in hand with the love of your life of course!



Then why not stay at our holiday cottage, Rosia Cottage where you can totally relax in comfort.

There are memory foam mattresses on all of the beds, to ensure a good nights sleep for everyone. Our change over day is Saturday - so you could come on the 14th and stay for a week during the half term for only £350 for the whole week. Ring Kathryn to book now on
01209 711012!



Alternatively, if you don't want to take a holiday you can buy the love of your life a special gift from Trewhellows Gift Shop


(Whoops, not ment to be inserted here, now I can't remove it!!! LOL)

Why not get a flower to last forever in the form of a Rose in a Crystal Ball like the one in the picture above?

We even have hand warmers in the shape of red hearts if you want your loved one to keep their fingers warm on these cold winters days.

So, that is my little plug for Valentines Day - don't I sound like a soppy old romantic? The truth is, I have never sent a Valentines Card or gift in my life - I don't have an ounce of romance in my body!!!

I do hope that the romantics out there are full of love and enjoy themselves though!

Take care, until my next blog.......

Kathryn
