  No 336 – where it all began for Millican ….

  “Mum, you won’t believe what we managed to fit into this van”

  What a great start to the Millican Tour last weekend. The Royal Highland Show in Edinburgh was our first outing and despite the wet weather, we came away elated with the great response, feedback and our first sales.

  It felt like we’ve finally been able to throw a pebble in the pond, with the first ripples starting to roll out from this epicentre called Millican – more than 30 people walked away with 1 or more of our products last week and many more with 1 of our little notebooks, postcards and hopefully a great first impression of the brand.

  The royal connection was made when Princess Anne exchanged polite hello’s with Nicky when she walked past our stand, clearly eyeing up a Harry Gladstone Bag for her favourite nephew …

  We made it back from the show in one piece on Sunday night, just. We’ve been working on getting the new website launched ever since, now scheduled for tomorrow – fingers crossed, could be another milestone for our fledgling brand this week.

  Are we on our way to turning a pond into a lake into an ocean? Who knows. Very exciting, whatever happens.
