Pssst it is father's day soon (6 September) and we need to spoil those dear chaps for being great dads!

Are you stuck for that something special wee or LARGE gift?? Celtic Connexions has a fabulous  and different range of gifts:

There is something for eveybody. Some ideas

Choose from our extensive range of celtic jewellery. A manly pendant or ring will not go amiss. For the Irish inclined we have hillarious small figurines of Finnigan, the Irish leprechaun and for the Scotsman there are hats and tee-shirts available. We even have haggis in a tin for a surprise breakfast.

If you are in the area call into the shop and talk to our friendly staff or visit the website for leisurely browse in the privacy of your home. And just while we are at it St Justin's range of bronze zodiac signs are now available. Bronze is a fusion of copper and tin. St Justin uses recycled copper and Cornish tin to recreate this ancient metal. After casting at over 1000 degrees into a mould they then handpolish the irems to produce this collection of unique jewellery. Worth checking out.

PS Bob is now back from his holiday, buzzing, ready to do it all over again. Watch this space for more information. He is already planning next years adventure. If you want a brochure now give us a call.

Tartan Day Programme.doc

AND ITS ACTUALLY TARTAN WEEK IN WAIPU, and thanks to Wayne Laurence fro all the info.see here for`

 whats going on.

tartan week 2009 poster flyer.pdf

This time of year is becoming more important in New Zealand because of Tartan Day – July 1 – and Australia and New Zealand have chosen to celebrate it at this time as it is when the government in London repealed the banning or proscription against wearing of the tartan – amongst other things. North America celebrate Tartan Day on April 6, by Act of Congress in the USA, which is the date the Scottish Declaration of Independence – also known as the Declaration of Arbroath -  was signed by Robert the Bruce and the Scottish nobility – a document to secure Scotland’s freedom from Edward Longshanks, King of England. Not many celebrations are held twice a year – but this is a special occasion.

Please feel free to pass this on to anyone you wish and hope to see you there – thanks!

Cornwall is justly proud of its ancient tin industry which began 4000 years ago.From the SS Liverpool,which sank off Angelsey in 1863, tin ingots were recovered which St Justin Jewellery Co have made into a variety of items.
