Miriam and the Hens
While most kids were busy playing during half term, one Eglu Owner in Huddersfield used her week off school to do something really special. She wrote a book!
Nine year old Abi Archer wrote a story called 'Miriam and the Hens', starring her little sister, Eglu and chickens. The story is told through the eyes of toddler Miriam, showing the eggcitement and entertainment that keeping chickens can bring. It is a lovely tale, with colour photos and drawings, and Abi plans to write a follow up about her hamster and Qute soon.
Abi wrote this book to raise money for charity, to support a school in Mara, Tanzania. There are 100 copies and she has already sold 30 of them, so she's doing well. If you would like to buy a copy you can email her Mum, Joanne. It costs £4, including p&p, and it's for a cracking cause!
How to Live Like a Hamster
Have you ever wondered what life would be like if you were a hamster? Well if you take a trip to the French city of Nantes you'll be able to find out! Believe it or not, one hotel in this theatrical city is designed to be like a hamster cage.
That may seem odd enough, but things get more and more peculiar... At La Villa Hamster each room is equipped with a giant hamster wheel to run in, a cage-like loft bed to climb into (by ladder), hanging oats to nibble on and a water tube to drink from. If you choose to stay there you won't find a tv in your room, but there is a large, wind-up rodent and some hamster headwear to keep you entertained.
It's proved a popular hotel with people from all over, so, we wonder, what about a hotel that looks like an Eglu?

The Outdoor Walk in Cat Run
Our Walk in Runs have been popular with chicken keepers ever since their launch last year, but it's not just the birds that like them...it seems that cat's have been getting in on the action too! We recently heard from one cat owner that found the Walk in Run to be the perfect outdoor pen for her puss.
Anne said this about the run. “My half Ragdoll cat loves his pen, it means he can be in the garden with us and watch all the wildlife and most importantly, be safe. This cat pen is made from very strong material and is very pleasant to look at.... The pen is so nice and airy that I even sometimes take a cup of tea outside with me and sit with him inside... This pen has really enriched my cat's life...”

In the Press
It's been a busy month for Omlet products in the press. They've been in magazines and websites all over the place, and these are just some examples.
The Beehaus featured in German magazine 'Schoner Wohnen', the most popular lifestyle magazine in Europe. The piece featured a selection of bee products, from hair wax to furniture to flats built like honeycomb. But the Beehaus stands out bee-rilliantly!
Meanwhile, the Qute has been the star of a post on popular blog 'Here we are Together'. Written by Miri, mother of three and homeschooling pro, this blog won the Sainsbury's Bank Family Blog of the Year Award 2012. Miri chose a Qute after daughter Emily fell for a hamster in need of adoption. She rates it highly as it 'minimizes clutter', takes 'one minute to clean' and 'looks like a piece of furniture'.
Click here to read the blog, and if you want to read more about the Qute visit the website.
But this month, we were most eggcited to see the Eglu Classic on the front page of The Times! As well as a fab photo of the Eglu on the front cover, Omlet were included in the Diamond Jubilee History insert. Starring alongside Kate Moss, James Bond and the Dalek's, the Eglu completed an impressive cast of icons, and it will most definitely go down in history.

Union Jack Tea Cosy
If you're going to make tea the 'proper' way, it's imperative you have a tea cosy to complete the job perfectly. Your tea will stay hotter for longer, and anyone that pops round after you've already poured yourself a cup will be able to help themselves to a cuppa that isn't stone cold.
This tea cosy with Union Jack design is a perfectly patriotic choice and it will look cool and iconic in every kitchen. Felt covered and lined with cotton, it is brilliantly insulating and the polka dot lining is the icing on the cake.
Drink Diver Straws
Do you remember being told not to blow bubbles in your drinks? Well with the Drink Divers, bubble blowing is definitely allowed! Choose from the dolphin or the diver straw, pop it in your drink on a hot summer's day and blow all the bubbles you like. You'll practically feel like you're in the ocean and have a right old giggle!
It's obvious that kids would love these, but we recommend you give them the boring straws and keep the fun ones to yourself...you deserve it!
