Simple days…and perfect service!

 






I recently mentioned that we’d received this lovely wall pot as a gift and in no time at all we found the perfect place in the garden for this beauty. I noticed that it came from a company called Creekwood and a few weeks later, I browsed the website and I placed an order for three Christmas themed pots.




What happened next was a lesson in how I think businesses ought to behave…but often don’t! I received an incorrect order. I’d actually ordered those, above, but I received these, below:



I contacted Creekwood, explained what had happened, sent them photos etc. They replied quickly, saying that they would send replacements, asap. I asked them to send a label to return the incorrect items and a lovely customer service lady said that there was no need and that I could keep them to give as presents! 

What wonderful service and how lucky was I?!

I thanked them and promised that I would give them a mention…and so here’s the website: 








Moving on, and on Wednesday, Nich and I had a trip to Kent’s cavern, for coffee and a natter. It was good to get into the Christmas spirit…and these lovely mags greeted us too…










Always a pleasure… and it was good to see two coach loads of children visiting. It’s a superb place to learn about prehistoric times! 


On Saturday, Mr Snippets and myself ventured to Powderham for coffee and a mooch.





The displays in the plant centre were very appealing…






…as was the fruit and veg in the shop! 
 



And so begins December! πŸ˜πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸŒ²πŸ§‘‍πŸŽ„πŸŽ„πŸŽ…πŸŒ²πŸ§‘‍πŸŽ„πŸŽ„

  2. It's so heartening when companies give good service. Small businesses rely on word of mouth and good reputation. I'm off now to peruse their website - thank you for the link.
