Hippopots.

WINKIE:
Social media reports that Hippopots is no more  :'( :'( :'(.  Jackie has announced that the shop is not now viable due to Brexit regulations, import export taxes etc, how very sad. A beautiful place to purchase her ceramics, we have many scattered around our home. I for one, would like to wish them all the very best for the future, and hope to meet up with them at some point in the future.

BarbaraG:
Sad news indeed. Used to love pottering round the shop (no pun intended). I suppose Brexit on top of the pandemic was just the final straw. Good luck Jackie and Pete. We’ll miss the 3 Ws quizzes too!

diane13:
Such a shame - we wish them well

Jimbo:
I've got a big collection of frogs from Hippopots. Jackie and Pete (and Bod) are lovely.

I remember telling Pete a long time ago that Brexit could cause a lot of problems for them because they sourced all their blanks in the UK. He said "I think we'll be fine." Alas, this has turned out not to be true.

Waspman:
They used to buy all their blanks in the UK and transport them via road to Corfu in their large van.
