It may be the Welsh in me but I love this new company, Herdy. They're making woolly rugs and throws and also has the best mugs, notebooks, keyrings and coasters. The Herdybanks are delightful. My Penguin mugs may have to move aside to make way for Herdy. Or maybe I'll mix them up, Penguin mugs on Herdy coasters, writing with a Penguin pencil in a Herdy journal. So many possibilities. What do you think? Is it time for Penguin to push off, or is Herdy a flash-in-the-pan rather than an instant classic? Or am I being woolly-headed and a bit bonkers?

I think Herdy is adorable.
She is, isn't she? I'm glad I'm not alone on the Herdy Gerdy ride!
Also, I finally went to their Web site and see that their profits are going toward conservation of the Lake District. Anything that helps conservation is a plus in my book! I may get some of these myself, if they are able to take my overseas order ...
Yes, Erin, there's an excellent link on their site to a feature in The Guardian newspaper about the conservation issues at stake.
