I'm currently sat in my garden, sipping a beer and trolling a tiny US marketing agency (who claim to be "worldwide leaders in marketing") that spammed our Clder Club Insta page... all because we have more followers than them and I need to amuse myself now and again.

Today, I've been pulling together some info & old e-mails about the building of Chester Market for a student doing a dissertation on the effects of gentrification. Looking through all the comms & seeing how traders were treated, misled & generally bullied is heartbreaking.
Glad to be out of it.😢

Day 3 of our jollies: To hot tub or not to hot tub... that is the question.
Last night's Eric Bordelet + hot tub action turned me into a big, snoring blob on the sofa.
