So we are all taking about the same subject all over the world at the moment. That is the ash from the Icelandic Volcano which has managed to stop air travel around the globe. Who would have ever thought??

We were all a little worried for Barbara at end of last week as she was travelling to the Secaucus Trade Show in New Jersey last Friday but fortunately for her, her flight was finally able to take off, despite several flights to the US being cancelled. Now the worry is that she will get back today as planned! Fingers crossed that she will but it appears that things are a little better now!

Here in Fragrances we are avid coffee drinkers!!! Especially David, Doug and Fiona and so you can imagine the withdrawal symptoms setting in when we found that we had run out of our filtered coffee and that our particular brand of coffee was out of stock at the wholesalers!! We had to live on instant coffee for a few days before we got re-stocked with our favourite brand! Tragic few days for all concerned!!!
