Hi Agata Oh no, we've certainly had our ups and downs and as I mention in the piece, we do have to work some very odd hours (common for us to be working well past midnight!). The point I was making about the 'easy' thing was how the internet has opened up access. I never dreamed that we could be able to reach such interesting parts of the world... Good luck with your business, and I hope the holidays come back again soon..!!
