Have just finished making some made to measure curtains for an unusual application - a VW Transporter T4 van. This really was a bespoke curtain request and I can't wait to see the photos of them in situ - keep an eye on the web-site.

Cheltenham is a beautiful town at any time of year (the best according to my husband who was born there!) but especially at Springtime when the floral displays in gardens and parks are beginning to look so attractive.
