Fame at last through the medium of WDClippy. Buy a ticket, this Bristol conference always has the friendliest people and the best vibe.

It’s lovely to see the Just Eat seagull is back sitting on her nest outside our cafe. I’d never seen a baby seagull before last year, they are fluffy!

Recently enjoyed this placeholder label form embellishment to obtain wifi at Bangkok airport. I'm disappointed that in my haste I cut off the gold bells hanging from the submit button.

A little rainbow hits mine in the afternoon making it seem like a religious experience.
