The placement of the first two headlines in The Bookseller had tickled me this morning 🤣

📍Lapstone Barn, Chipping Campden

✅ Good amount of loos, bright lighting, enjoyed the stone wall, hand wash smelled nice, mirrors were ample, lovely sinks!

❌ Not enough space between loos & sinks, stiff doors, had to shove to open one, felt less grand than the rest of the venue & that bothers me

Reason 3743 of why I love my husband:

When he buys an sneaky iced coffee for me, because he knows I am a fan, and hides it in the fridge so I don't see it until the morning 🥹☕🧊

Cheese is a privilege, not a right, I just told my dog

But on second thought is this actually true? Where is the case law

"Millward’s scratchy, wild drawings [are the] perfect accompaniment to this fabulous exploration of feelings and freedom" 🐣💛

Kerfuffle Bird featured in The Observer, ahead of pub day next week! 🎉

📍Kibou, Oxford

✅ Fairly consistent décor with the main restaurant, nice hand wash & lotion, free sanitary products, good mirrors, & ample space

❌ Brown walls, lots of stairs to get there...

One of my pet peeves is Nice Places having crappy toilets.

Soooo I am going to try and document loos for public interest (aka for my husband 😅)

Here we go with tonight's loo...

This is a insightful and interesting thread - thank you for sharing. Butterfly effect very much comes into mind here too.

How much do you think it costs to make a pair of Nike shoes in Asia?

Isobel McArthur's adaptation of Pride & Prejudice was stellar this evening!

It's Austen but as a freshly mixed comedy 🤩

Highly recommend: prideandprejudicesortof.com
