    Our first garments from Piccalilly have arrived - some cosy knitted stripy leggings, cute tiger socks and a lovely soft cotton cardigan.  As we are not in the 'fast fashion' industry, good things take time and we are looking forward to receiving more of the clothing we have ordered in the upcoming months.
