<title>Alsace show - News story</title>
<link>https://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/news-detail.php?news=186</link>
<description><![CDATA[I leave for the trade show in Alsace tomorrow, where I have a fairly small shopping list. Mostly topping up a few standard lines, though I will be looking for anything new or interesting.
I'm away for a week, but then only in the shop for a couple of days before travelling again. Cate will be handling the website sales, and she won't be in every day, so there may be a slight delay on website&hellip;....]]></description>

<title>Website checkout - news story</title>
<link>https://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/news-detail.php?news=185</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've had three customers over the past month or so tell me they had a problem when trying to add items to the cart on the website. I believe the problem lies with a compatibility issue between at least one browser (Safari) and the third party cart system my website uses.If you find you are having this issue, try using a different browser to see if that works, but also please feel free to give&hellip;....]]></description>

<title>Right, said Fred - news story</title>
<link>https://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/news-detail.php?news=184</link>
<description><![CDATA[After seven years, Fred will be leaving Mr Wood's Fossils. It's been coming for a little while, as Fred submitted his PhD earlier this year and has been patiently waiting for the jobs within his specialist field to be advertised. He will start in his&#160; new post in January and will have his last day working in the shop this coming Saturday, the 1st of December.
He has been a very loyal and dedicated member of&hellip;....]]></description>

<title>The Coming of the Crates - news story</title>
<link>https://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/news-detail.php?news=183</link>
<description><![CDATA[My two weary, blue, plastic crates should be delivered from Bristol today, after the last leg of their journey from Tucson. That means around a ton and a half of rocks dumped on the pavement that I first have to bring into the shop, then take down into the basement. Followed by the crates.
After that, it's a few weeks of unpacking and pricing up all the new stuff. Most of it, as usual, is topping&hellip;....]]></description>

<link>https://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/news-detail.php?news=178</link>
<description><![CDATA[The stuff I bought at the Alsatian trade fair last week should be with us on Friday or Monday. Not quite on the same scale as the Tucson shipment, but there are some nice new things, and a top-up of a few lines I had been worried about sourcing again.
A run-through of what's coming, in nonsensical order:

Sectioned Madagascan ammonites
Douvilleceras ammonites
Green opal
Dendritic chalcedony
March flies
Citrine
Amethyst
Desert rose
Mammoth bone
Woolly rhino bone
Gravesia ammonites
Unusual Lebanese fish, including a couple of sharks
Southern&hellip;....]]></description>

<title>France - news story</title>
<link>https://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/news-detail.php?news=177</link>
<description><![CDATA[Towards the end of next month I'll be off to my other regular trade fair, in Alsace. With stock levels as they are, I'm not really looking to bring much home with me, but it's still important to top up stocks of some things I can't get elsewhere.
If there's anything you're looking for, let me know and I'll keep an eye out for you.....]]></description>

<title>Tucson stock arrival - news story</title>
<link>https://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/news-detail.php?news=176</link>
<description><![CDATA[The shop with the containers from Tucson is due to dock in Southampton this evening. From there, providing there are no delays going through customs, the containers are taken to Bristol. There, they are unloaded and the contents distributed across the country and into mainland Europe.
All being well, I'll have my crates on Friday the 24th. As usual, the first day is really just spent getting all the stuff downstairs into the basement and out&hellip;....]]></description>

<title>Across the Sea - news story</title>
<link>https://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/news-detail.php?news=175</link>
<description><![CDATA[I left the Tucson show on the 1st of February, with my two crates of recent purchases in the car park of an Arizona hotel. Those crates were then loaded into a 40ft container on the back of a truck and hauled to the California coast.&#160;
From there, the container was hoisted onto a ship - the NYK Meteor - which set sail South, towards the Panama Canal and passage to the Atlantic. It's possible to&hellip;....]]></description>

<title>So Fresh and So Clean - news story</title>
<link>https://www.mrwoodsfossils.co.uk/news-detail.php?news=174</link>
<description><![CDATA[This year the shop will see its 30th birthday. Okay, maybe not so old compared to what's on the shelves, but the shelves themselves and the walls behind them look every bit of their age. It's been a long time coming, but we're finally getting a little refurbishment. The 70s-style pegboarding will be taken away and new slatwall put in its place. This will still allow a flexible shelving system, just one that won't bow&hellip;....]]></description>
