Hungerford Arcade is thrilled that our International visitors are starting to come back as the world reopens but, sadly, not all of them are travelling yet. One such is Erik Thorbjornsen, a friend and regular visitor from Norway who, because of quarantine restrictions and family commitments, is unable to visit.

During lockdown last year, I spent time on video calls with him, enabling him to purchase stock remotely. If you’ve seen me using my phone to video units and muttering to myself, I’m pleased to report that I’m not losing my marbles (although there are those who would disagree!) but have again been helping Erik to restock this year. He has bought a wide selection of pieces from over 20 units so the dealers are very happy.
His shippers have collected his purchases this morning and we look forward to seeing him in person as soon as he is able.
