Hello everyone! Although Craig has been on twitter he's been doing it from his hospital bed. He's had a couple of massive heart attacks and stents put in his heart. He's home now on a very long road to recovery. Keep chatting to him as we need to keep him occupied. ❤️ Mrs H x

Myself & Mrs H cannot thank everyone enough for all their support this week, it has now been made public that we lost everything in an arson attack March 2022, since then I have suffered ill health & used our savings to keep the business afloat. Please see Jody's post. THANKS ALL
After numerous requests I’ve created a Go Fund Me page for Craig & Nikki.
Please help to raise funds to support them. Hopefully to get justice but also to keep them safe whilst we fight to protect them.
