'My name is Margaret Lovering and I am a local beekeeper, so all my beautiful products are directly related to honeybees. Naturally my products include delicious local Northumberland Honey, my handmade pure beeswax candles and my eco-friendly beeswax food wraps. These are a natural alternative to clingfilm and plastic food bags, very sensibly priced too.
All make wonderful gifts to friends, family and yourself!.
I also support other crafters and sell their bee related handcrafted items, so not surprisingly, my business is called ALL ABOUT THE BEES'.

Handmade bags of all sizes, shapes and colours for sale. Commissions taken

During lockdown I taught myself to sew and became obsessed with sourcing gorgeous fabrics for all the little bags I started making! I now sell the bags to raise funds for HospiceCare North Northumberland. My new hobby has been a surprising and calming distraction in recent months, and I am delighted with the support I have had from lovely people wishing to buy a bag and support HospiceCare!

Back in 2004 a gentleman gave me a pair of socks. I thought they were so good that three years later I bought the business from him – it’s true!
At the time, I did and still do run a business called Shepherds Walks and the previous owner of Capricorn Mohair Socks gave me a pair and asked what I thought of his walking socks. I pulled them on and I have never walked in anything else since (not the same pair I may add)
Before purchasing the sock business, I initially started selling them through our Shepherds Walks website, then in our shop in Northumberland. There is something ‘special’ about these socks, this is what our customers keep telling me.
So, when the opportunity arose to buy Capricorn Mohair Socks I jumped at the chance. The sock business has gone from strength to strength with us selling our quality mohair socks not just in the UK but worldwide. One of our largest growths has been in the fashion sector in Japan, with our socks featured in high end fashion magazines. Despite this success, our whole ethos behind the Capricorn Socks brand has not changed, our socks are still made in the same way, with the same attention to detail and your comfort in mind.
Since the early days our Shepherds Walks business has expanded dramatically and we now have our sister business, Shepherds Walks Holidays. Our holiday customers often remark how those long walks are made slightly easier by having comfortable walking socks helping to keep the blisters at bay.
We now stock many different styles of socks, suitable for all needs and we have expanded our range of colours to offer customers both traditional style colours, alongside a range of bright vibrant colours, making hundreds of sock options available from Capricorn Mohair Socks. To customers both old and new I hope you enjoy the Capricorn Mohair Sock experience.

My name is Sarah I love all things craft! Vinyl cutting to make box frames... making face masks, cushions, toiletry bags.... I’ll try my hand at anything Always helping charities one way or another proud to support HospiceCare with the Virtual Joy of Christmas Fair

I grew up in Australia as my family emigrated there in the mid 1960’s when I was a baby. Although the family returned to the UK in the mid 1970’s I retain great affection for the country, Those early influences can be seen in my life and in my work.
I became a full time professional artist in 1987 and have now settled in Lowick, where I have my art studio and gallery. The outstanding Northumbrian countryside reminds me of my early years in Australia, with stunning coastline and unspoilt habitats, full of inspiration and ideas for my paintings.
Through my paintings I hope to extend to the viewer some of the beauty of Nature that surrounds us daily, and yet is often unseen, to offer a small glimpse into the great outdoors.

Our jam, jelly and chutney recipes all draw inspiration from Alice’s travels far and wide and her upbringing in the Northumberland countryside. Many of them are very traditional influenced as far back as the Victorian era whilst others are dreamt up in the Kitchen on the spot. What’s important is whether they taste really good and are full of flavour.
