If you go down to the woods today
As part of the team that created the Celebration of Wood display in Heal’s Tottenham Court Road, every time I pass the windows I have to pinch myself. It’s hard to imagine, let alone find, a store willing to have logs, boards and wood chips spread across their beautiful shop floor! Yet Heal’s have supported […]
