The Just...Trio Blog : Exciting things in Summer 2012

The Olympic Torch

This summer is set to be an exciting one!
We're getting ready to welcome the Olympic torch through North Devon next week. On Monday the 21st of May, at 10.30 am, the torch will be passing through Bideford Town Centre and carrying on to Barnstaple and beyond.
Our local paper, the North Devon Journal reports on the route here: http://www.northdevongazette.co.uk

After the excitement of the Olympic torch, preparations for the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations will start. Bunting will be hoisted, windows will be decorated, you won't be able to escape the red, white and blue, and union jacks!

Here at Just...Trio, we're celebrating the Jubilee by bringing you some lovely and quirky 'Brit-tastic' products, from fun rubber ducks to gorgeous handmade cosmetics. So without further ado, here's the best of our British inspired goodies.
