Long time friend, Director Nick, sends a rather loving note and great little gift to celebrate my Roll Up The Rim addiction. The little contraption with the letter is a Rimroller. Yes, its the same Rimroller featured on the Dragons’ Den. Nick is a man of good taste – he has also helped me take [...]
