WellydogIn 2015 we ran away to Cornwall, that's me, Janice, and Mr Wellydog, sometimes known as Steve. We decided if we wanted to fulfill our lifelong dream of living in this glorious county, we needed to do it, before we got too old to enjoy it. After a major downsize, we moved to beautiful Cornwall. We moved my little craft business Wellydog, from 'up country', and after a successful few years in Hayle, we have very recently moved to a new shop, in the Beautiful Harbour village of Polperro.
Why Wellydog? We are old enough to have seen the introduction of home computers and the first personal emails. For those of you who remember, then picking an email address was difficult, as most names had already been taken. The suggestion at the time was to put your name with a number after it....janiceashworth1287 just didn't appeal as I find numbers difficult. I tried loads of different versions of my name and was getting quite cross that I couldn't find anything suitable, Mr Wellydog got fed up of me keep asking what to do and he yelled out, "Just put the blooming dog's name in", so I did. Our dog at the time was called Wellington Boots, Welly for short , so Wellydog was born. Years later when I established my business and moved into a local craft centre, the idea of thinking of a name and getting a new email address seemed too stressful, so I just continued as Wellydog, and the rest as they say is history. We are assisted at busy events by our lovely daughter Gemma, our Wellydog apprentice. Our current dog Fin helps us on the beach by giving us the incentive to get out and about, he's also every good at sniffing out smelly fish, and balls and digging holes.
