    That sounds nice, looks like the staff will keep jobs and the business side of the site is all intact.  Keeping it in the community.
    Not just selling the name and existing customers mailing list.

    Yes it seems much better than what we're used nowadays when old businesses turn into an empty husk after all value is taken out @Rubytoo

    We talked about this on the Rose Thread, page 120, earlier this month and I read about it in the local paper. I'm only about 20 mins from Peter Beales. I was relieved to read that Bell's Horticultural will keep it going.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    And I was wondering what all those rose threads were about off season 🤣 clearly I hadn't tapped on them...not worth it without pretty pictures
