Fruit aside, I like the way it promotes connecting with nature, healing, peace, but also: 'fast wifi' 😂

On the plus side, we have new decor and Jack's talking is coming along. This is T-Rex, Egg, Tayto, Spikey, Baby, Tail, Feet, RoorRoor, Sky, and Doo Doo 😂🦖

In related news, I might delete all 20,000 words on him from the book and just type YOU MAKE NO SENSE, MAN. Why did I decide to write a book about a guy who had two different names, neither his real name, one of them spelled at least four ways by newspapers and transcribed by the BNA as even more?

Don't we all!

Creative, I like it! Although there's no parking so small broken things only! :)

Agree on the toilets. But there's a big restaurant/cafe/bar right next door and several smaller ones along the seafront which only really do business in ice cream and drinks during the few sunny weeks of the year. Last thing we need is more coffee here! My thoughts are simply: youth club.

Hah, proper democracy!

Someone's just suggested replacing it with a small Primark 😆

Hah yep, makes sense! The money has come from some kinda central government fund (after 15yrs of cuts to basic local government services), and they have NO idea what people here actually need and want. Which, it turns out, is more accessible toilets! Also, more bin collections and potholes filled..

- 1940s themed cream tea cafe 🥱

And this is the thing. Pretty much all of us have 'foreign' heritage. I'm a mix of Irish, Eng, German, Scottish, Swedish, Spanish amd somewhere in the mixer, Jamaican. My kids have Belarussian, French and Jewish blood. No-one has ever questioned my heritage as I 'look' right. Fuck this Laboir govt.

My 2 ww1 grandads and 1 ww2 dad would never have expected my European son in law and subsequent grandchildren - my future is complex and mixed and I love them all - same thing - despite a decent local Mp I will probably never vote Labour again. An island of strangers? No - that’s my family.
