Not that Norfolk! Mislabelled shipments led to Trump tariffs on uninhabited islands and remote outposts with no US trade Exclusive: Aquarium systems, Timberland boots and recycling plant parts were mislabelled as coming from remote Norfolk Island or Heard and McDonald islands

It's out!! 🧢🧣I've just released the pattern for my Sambucus Pi Shawl. It's in my Ravelry and Etsy shops, but Etsy adds charges, so I'd recommend Ravelry. There's 20% off for the first few days.

I've just changed the currency of my shops to Australian Dollars.

Enjoy!

The collar's supposed to stop him catching birds ... not fully tested yet mind. At least it doesn't seem to bother him!
