In episode 31 we took on Castle Rock Brewery.
Wow, there are some serious brewers in Nottingham.
Castle Rock are pillars of their communities, they have a great set of beers, brilliant merch, and a whole host of pubs.
Thanks for your generosity, and thanks for looking after our Nina. #nottingham

OK first new house query.
Who knows about fitting washing machines?
I can only ever remember how I last did something, and if a new situation isn't exactly like the old setup... I'm starting from scratch again... 🤔 #plumbing

Just tipping the last couple of Pickled Onion Space Raiders into my face (late dinner) from a massive sharing bag, and noticed "Baked, not fried" on the packet, and thought, well... thank goodness for that.

I'm not doing Black Friday discounts this year.
It’s just me in my Manchester studio. I can't compete with big brands slashing prices.
Every purchase keeps my tiny business going.

It's been a very quiet week.
As a small business owner that’s a bit scary heading into my busy season.
So, if you're looking for unique #Christmas gifts, I make prints, homewares, cards & accessories inspired by midcentury design, music & architecture.

Let’s take a look at the whole “there are too many black people on TV” thing, shall we?
After Pochin claimed Black people in TV adverts “made her mad”, all her supporters tried to use 👇🏼 as their excuse for why she was somehow justified in her overt racism.
Spoiler - she isn’t! 🤨

Any shares of this much appreciated! When my ex-publishers collapsed, taking over £20,000 of my earnings with them into the void, all my books suffered but none more than 1983. This is me trying to repair that. It’s about:
Childhood
Education
Aliens
Alpacas
The East Midlands
The old future we lost

Hello! My CEO Roscoe and I are giving away TWO signed copies of my novel 1983 to two randomly selected people who repost this & pop a reply below. You also get a free postcard of this illustration of Roscoe by my mum.
It’s been called “Stranger Things rewritten by Kurt Vonnegut & Sue Townsend”…
