FYI - Bramble House is ME, Diane Hodges, HI!

["Bramble House" <info@bramblehouse.net>]

I just saw my message and realized no one will know what the hell Bramble
House is... it's a store I run, own, whatever, in a little village here in
Quebec, where I sell UK products to the minority of UK ex-pats who live
here... ever supplying the minority with their needs, I reckon. Ha.

Cheers ya.
Diane Hodges
