Anyone heard from the Goldies?

I recieved an email from Brigitte on Feb 19 saying my whistle would be finished in about a week, but nothing since. I've sent 2 subsequent emails but still no reply.

You might try sending a third one, or maybe a PM through C&F.

Maybe it has something to do with this. This is the last time I saw them posting anything. Could be they are just behind with their email.

I've known them (once) to get little behind—maybe a week or two—but computer problems seem much more likely. You might try ringing them; that's what I'd do if I had something currently on order.

Brigitte sent me an email about a week ago, and this was contained within it:

Colin was a little more ill, bad start of this year so he is slightly
late already (not really late but not as early as he hoped ...)

I have an anodised D on order, and we were discussing one of the political threads on GC, and she put that in her reply.

Hopefully it wasn't anything lasting or serious, but probably enough to back things up for a bit...

Very sorry. We are very behind on emails at the moment. Unfortunately things got crazy here with the computer dying and unexpected major building work to do round the house which could not be delayed. To top it all my new lathe (2nd hand) arrived yesterday. 600kg of lathe had fallen over on its front, smashed by the transport company. Have to see how that turns out....

Brigitte who normally does help me an awful lot with emails is looking after her grandmother a lot at the moment who is very ill since before Christmas and bed bound now, we are somehow glad Brigitte still is unemployed at the moment although..... anybody needing an industrial accountant, fluent in German and English......

I am back in the workshop now along with getting a life

and hope to be back to normal with emails in the next couple of weeks... I hope... We do have many emails arriving in a week, which we are happy about but of course if we are not able to do emails a couple of weeks the back log is around 200 which makes it hard to catch up.

Terry, Bb whistles are ready and I will send you the telephone number in the next few minutes.

Sorry again...

Colin and Brigitte

Good luck with the recovery programme on all fronts.

In fact, you couldn't have picked a better period to be off line. We seem to be getting back to normal here, so just don't bother reading the threads that came and went during your absence

I spoke with Colin today. He explained the problems he's had recently: computer problems, remodelling, weather, damage to his new lathe. I explained I had also been having computer problems and thought I wasn't recieving his emails. Then he played three different whistles for me over the phone so I could choose. (I wish I could play that well). Now my new Bb whistle is on the way. What nice people!
