Polite notice: please dispose of your dog waste in an appropriate bin. There are many. This is a far kinder way than placing on our shop window sill for us to remove.

There is CCTV on both sides of the street and it is monitored.

This is the family, in case you see them, could you remind them of this. Thanks.

Lets keep our high street and harbour free from unnecessary litter. Our wonderful council workers, shop keepers and local businesses work hard to keep standards high and take pride in our community.

Thanks 🙏❤️

Worth noting during these periods of extended dry weather ❤️

🌿 Protect Our Coast. Protect Our Wildlife. 🔥

The weather is warm. The grass is dry. It only takes one spark to start a wildfire.

Wildfires don’t just burn vegetation—they destroy habitats, kill wildlife, and leave seabirds and other animals without safe places to feed, nest, or shelter.

You can help:

* 🚭 Never discard cigarette ends on the ground.
* 🔥 Avoid disposable BBQs and open fires in dry grassland or coastal areas.
* 🗑️ Take all litter home—glass can contribute to fires in certain conditions, and rubbish harms wildlife.

* 📞 If you see smoke or fire, call 999 immediately and ask for the Fire & Rescue Service.

Every small action makes a difference.

A few images of our four beautiful visitors in Brixham harbour today.

PLEASE NOTE: One of these common dolphins is poorly. The additional three are looking after it with one of them not leaving it's side whilst the other two circle creating a perimeter.

The poorly individual has an identifiable misshaped dorsal fin. This fin is an old injury and fully healed but indicates a previous serious injury.

Please keep your distance and not approach the small pod either in or on the water. When wild animals are unwell, injured or in distress they can be unpredictable and we want all to remain safe and stress free (both human and non-human animals). Be kind and let this play out naturally.

The animals are being observed and there is nothing to do at this time.

Thanks for reading and please share to help with awareness of keeping distance. 🐬❤️

💚 We’re feeling incredibly grateful today...

Together, we've reached a new milestone…our highest-ever monthly sales turnover. 🎉❤️

To our amazing customers, supporters, and community, thank you. Your kindness, loyalty, and belief in our mission have made this moment possible. You've shown that when people come together with a shared purpose, incredible things can happen.

Knowing that our clothing brand is helping to protect wildlife and wild places makes this achievement so much more meaningful than numbers alone. This milestone belongs to every one of you.

Thank you for standing with us, believing in our mission, and proving that together we really can make a difference.
