Conway Stewart – the British pen
Using a fountain pen, or a luxury rollerball, to write your Christmas cards is one of the delights of the seasonal festivities. Keeping in touch with friends and family, handwriting those special notes, all seem to flow better when using a ‘real’ pen.
And after Christmas, again a pen to write those ‘thank-you’ notes is more meaningful, and more treasured than a text!
Conway Stewart has been making pens in Great Britain since 1905 – famously, Winston Churchill used them. With over 100 different pens on our website, there is something for everyone. See the Churchill Heritage range, the Seamus Heaney Pen, the Shakespeare, and then there is the Doctor’s Pen, the Accountant’s Pen and the Lawyer’s Pen.

Better sleep with Devon Duvets
Devon Duvets is a family run business that specialises in British made, wool filled bedding products, specifically designed to help you sleep better and individually handcrafted by expert seamstresses in the Devon Duvets workshops on the edge of Dartmoor.
Each product is filled with traceable 100% British wool, encased in 100% cotton. Using British wool is an important part of the Devon Duvets commitment to supporting British farmers and the wool is gathered from across Devon and the Southwest, then cleaned at British mills, without using chemicals or bleach. The products are natural and sustainable, and therefore better for you and the environment.
Wool bedding has many benefits. It is breathable and temperature regulating, helping to ensure a more restful night’s sleep, and is naturally resistant to dust mites and the build-up of micro bacteria, so is hypoallergenic and hygienic.

A Life of Service
Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-reigning monarch in British history, will always be remembered for her devotion to duty and public service.
'I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service,' Princess Elizabeth said just a few years before she would take the throne, in a statement that would ring true throughout her life. Becoming Queen at the young age of 25 she would work to modernise yet safeguard the monarchy, making countless trips around the globe and remaining a much-loved figure.
A Life of Duty is a design celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s life for people to treasure and features a classic English rose in creamy shades of blush pink and sprigs of lily of the valley – a permanent feature of the floral displays at Buckingham Palace. The flowers were also included in the Queen’s coronation
