Europe:
Special note for European customers following Brexit;
We are very sorry but following the Brexit vote in the UK and all the new costs and legislation that has followed this, we are now unable to ship into EU countries. We are very disappointed about this and will be lobbying governments to allow tiny businesses such as ours to find legal options that would enable us to go back to selling our wonderful garden shoes into EU countries again. But in the mean time we cannot ship to the EU - sorry.
