this box was late being sent out last month,but we was informed by email to say that it will be posted on the 30 of each month from now on due to hold up getting the goods to them in time.so no problem.
as part of an exciting change they have decided every quarter they ae going to send a curated box from a county , theme,supplier.
so this month we off to spain. and brindisa,
