Pleased with my Xmas gift wrapping this year, fabric sacks made from scraps that people can reuse themselves. (I’ll make more next year and eventually some might come back with pressies inside 😁).

Fancy a cheeky Christmas Day pint? Escape the madness? You’re in luck!

Normal hours outside of the dates listed.

We’ve got a huge selection of cans at the moment as well as new t-shirts, hoodies and (from Tuesday) limited edition glasses!

Royal Acadamy Sunmer exhibition faves - visit 1:
The vases were amazing - they were called ‘wetting the tip’ and one featured mice, one snails and rotting fruit and one skeleton hands….
The cat was very weird… it ‘breathes’ but incredibly subtly. Needs to be seen!!
Some lovely prints. Lots of horses, I may have missed a reference 🙃

Seemed to be fewer different people organising the rooms this year lots just done by the overall curator which I think was a tad dull. My fave room was organised by Clare woods, I really liked the layout.

Going a bit cottage vibe with the front garden - the pink roses are loving life this year!! And the dry weather means the hosta has defeated the slugs so far…
