Mrs Blackwell has never met an analogue tool she didn't like. Books, pencils, fountain pens, typewriters, snail mail, smoke signals. If you ask her, they're all superior to their digital alternatives.

When he isn’t making local bicycle deliveries on his Pashley or mixing Mrs Blackwell a dry martini with a twist, Mr Blackwell crafts our Yellow Pages ads and answering machine messages.

When she isn’t helping you find your next great cookbook or suggesting an eco-friendly swap for your household, Miss Floss can be found in her own burgeoning culinary garden.

Believe it or not, we almost had to twist Mrs Higgs' arm to convince her to become a bookseller. As a member of a lively local book club, she always has a great new recommendation to share.

You might recognise Miss Moss from her popular fabric, haberdashery and vintage store JET Greytown. You’re welcome to ask her crafty questions as well as book enquires while you’re in store.

Sewing. Photography. Reading (an extraordinary number of books, at that). Travel. Family. Mrs Silcock's list of hobbies and talents is enough to make the rest of us feel a little lazy.
