Morning Paul,

Yeah good to chat yesterday. Thanks for the clarification below. The ED 
Shaded looks lovely but we are well stocked for now thanks.

Be in touch over the coming days once we get the Essential back here and 
ready to ship on to you guys.

Please pass on our regards to all the Atkin team. Hopefully next year we 
will get down to see everyone again.

Phil & Harriet
