Hi there,
Do you happen to know if Jason Shackleton is at Laurieston House Pottery at the moment. I’ve been trying to get hold of him and leaving my number on an answerphone, but no response yet….

He knows me as Charlotte Dickie’s cousin.
Hi Clarissa

kind regards
Alex

He might have be having a bit of a wrestling match with his answerphone …….. so best to ring a few times waiting for him to answer personally.
