Out of interest how do those of you selling eggs at the door keep yours cool. The only place I can put a box (or one of these gorgeous egg houses) is where the sun will get on it for most of the day.

I'm making one this coming week hopefully. I haven't yet costed how much a large one would be. Once made I'll weigh it for a postage cost .

I've sold that small one but I'll make another one this weekend. The last one weighed just over 3kilo with packing it should still cost under £8 to send Standard Parcels.
