Mark here :) Bit of info: For British expats that worked and paid contributions in the UK. You can now check your National Insurance contributions, and pension entitlement online by (1) visiting www.gov.uk and signing up, then (2) downloading the app (gov.uk id check) and connecting it to your account. If you have a UK passport and a smartphone it takes 5 minutes. If not then you can send them an email with proof of identity, and they'll help you out.

I left when I was 28, and I have a bit tucked away. Mind you, the CRA will be waiting for some of it. You can't escape death and taxes ;) Happy New Year x

If you're not doing anything this afternoon or tonight, come out for a chat and let me know what you've been up to.

I've been busy with my other job and now it's time to put my feet up. I'll have the kettle on at 425 Park Avenue West in Chatham.

I don't have any imports, unfortunately, but if you're looking for something special, unique, or a gift, you will find something here. There are numerous vendor tables and unique artwork for sale. You will be able to browse without the pressure of having to buy anything.

There's lots of parking, and there's always a place to sit and relax. Doors will be open until 9 tonight. I'll be there from 2 pm - 9 pm at 425 Park Avenue West.

It's a bit of a long post, but here is an update. Unfortunately, I won't be reopening Little Britain any time soon. I still own my building in Ridgetown and always will. As many know, I have a full-time job during the late spring to late fall. I work anywhere from 55-70 a week, plus around 20, at my printing shop. I probably shouldn't with my health, but it takes my mind off my trauma.

Last year, I lost a ton of money (around $18000 due to slow sales. I know it wasn't due to my prices, because I was the lowest around. I worked like a dog this year to pay that off. Business has been declining everywhere, I guess. I'm just fortunate to have another job.

I will still have a bit of presence at 425 Park Avenue West in Chatham (District 425), selling a few British themed gift items, and throwing the occasional get-together. If you are around, come by and support the many other small vendors inside, and check out some super cool artwork by . I will be sharing a lot of upcoming events at to keep this page alive. I am still around and will be selling some British themed gift items in Chatham. (These don't have an expiry date) Hats, scarves, etc.

Also check out Magnolia Room Vintage & Consignment .car.care . There are other vendor stalls selling crystals, a few loved high end mens shirts, and jackets, Candles, Scents, Artwork. Refreshments, and everything in between :)

Sometimes, I'm absolutely ashamed at being British. When British people come into the store and treat the people who are helping me out like garbage, it really gets my back up. They are NOT responsible if I don't stock a certain item. If you want the full British shopping experience, then hop on a plane. Business has been super slow. I'm not throwing any money at it right now because I'm busy with my real job. I've given Claudia and Chris permission to tell the next "Rude" (polite description) person where to go, and to post the interaction on Facebook :) .......To everyone else. THANK YOU X

Head on over to District 425 West, Small vendor, and art gallery. (425 Park Avenue West, Chatham)

The Chicago Baking Co. has dropped off some samples to help you focus on the coolest place in CK. There's lots to see and lots of unique small vendor items to buy. High-end, new to you clothing, Artwork, Crystals, Sage Smudges and feathers, Local honey, Candles and a lot more.

Come grab a Biscoff Chocolate Brownie (while supplies last) and support small enterprise at the same time :D..........I have a few bits left that MUST go. You "may" be able to haggle on my prices with Claudia or Chris. The more you buy, the bigger the deal :)

Hello everyone. I'm just throwing out some feelers. I'm thinking of throwing an afternoon tea gathering one Sunday in September at the District 425 West Small vendor and Art Gallery in Chatham. There will be zero expectation of you to buy anything, however there will be other vendor items if you do wish to treat yourself. I just want a day away from my other job, have some tea, maybe a slice of cake, and a good old chin wag. This would be a free event. It would have to be on a first to message me basis for an invite.

Due to parking and seating, I'd have to limit the list to 30-35 people. Private message me if you would be interested, and I'll keep you posted . I might make this a regular thing.
