GONE PICNICKING
What with this fine weather M&I's mind is turning towards the great outdoors. We read about the intriguing work of Williams British Handmade last week and are particularly fond of the sturdy looking picnic hamper case.

An informative tour of the Grenson factory courtesy of Tenue de Nimes. We enjoyed from 8mins onwards and especially valued the contribution made by the gentleman in the blue jumper.
*Thanks to Menno van Meurs for alerting us to the video's existence.

ONE FOR THE LADIES
Stratford upon Avon's finest bicycle manufacturer, Pashley, is celebrating the coming of spring by offering its classic Princess model in three new colours. In a nod to the company's manufacturing process taking place in the UK, the Brittania bicycle range comes in red, white or blue. We plumped for the red to match the masthead, obviously.
