A BIG THANK YOU
As we come to the end of 2023 we would like to thank all of you who have supported us.
It means so much to us as a small heritage craft business, that in a world with so much choice you opted for Cumbrian authenticity & we are truly grateful.
MERRY CHRISTMAS

They’re laughing at us!
the Uk carbon pricing levy excludes stone of any kind, it’s also a year later than Europe (so our industry will be dumped on).
Why did we get such stupid leaders in every aspect of our lives
Lions led by donkeys

Pictures of the lakes!
Has anyone climbed these fells?
Cumbrian slate, unlike anything else in the world.
It looks like the Oxen fell to me, but what do you see

Devastating news for a small struggling business, and to compound matters they can’t even spell my name right.
No appeal, no reasoning no clue as to why we aren’t suitable (although I have my suspicions)
I’m devastated

Perhaps too late for Christmas but maybe just right for the feast of Saint Valentine.
You’ve just gotta love Cumbrian slate coasters, hand crafted by Andy, right here in the Lake District

Surprising Cumbria - Where’s this?
My fantastic sister Clare, and her friends are true advocates of the benefits of wild swimming, this was the view that greeted them a few weeks ago, but where is it, lake & fells?

Location washing - trying to fool the consumer into believing that a product is authentic and genuinely from a certain place.
Can you guess how many of these slates are crafted in the Lake District from Cumbrian slate and how many are Spanish slate
Try I’m really keen to know

The sad demise of Peter Hall & son of windemere, will result in the loss of their popular hand crafted Christmas Cumbrian ornaments from the Westmorland shops at Tebay & Rheghed
Can I suggest some handcrafted heritage Cumbrian alternatives to fill that gap?

Why only supermarkets?
Why only illegal logging?
Why not slave labour?
Why not countries that break sanctions?
Why play at it? Get serious

Monday and we all need a sign, so how about these beauties, carved by Andy from Broughton moor green slate, for a local guest house, and their individual rooms

OH NO!
No Carol singing
No midnight mass
No turkey (or vegetarian equivalent)
No Booths Supermarket mince pies
No leaving a carrot out for Santa’s reindeer
All because the ships from China can’t get here!
NO
Have an even happier Christmas everyone
From all of us Coniston Stonecraft

It’s been a fraught few days for us on the mountain, bad weather always brings more problems for us. So if you’d like to help why not buy our products from our collaborators/friendly retailers or from us online, then hopefully we’ll have plenty to do in January replacing stock
