I was delighted to learn that my favourite Norwegian will be visiting these shores in April.
Erik Thorbjornsen has been coming to the Arcade for several years and it is always a great pleasure to welcome him. I first dealt with him during lockdown, when I videoed the various units so he could choose items to buy from Norway, as it was the only way he could access stock from us at the time. We have since become firm friends.
Recently, he called me to let me know he was coming over and to ask whether he could buy some garden items in advance, with the expectation of buying more in person after the dealers had restocked.
Videos of our garden area again flew back and forth and the pieces he chose are in a storage area awaiting packing.
The dealers are delighted with what he has bought.
The restocked garden area is looking different from what it was a couple of weeks ago with many new items.
