Creative and cute. Not my words, Carol. The words of an Etsy marketing email. Design, Illustration, Gardens, Furniture, not AI. Ever. English in New England. Low T Man, High Tea Man. Let's get tonight's horror show on the road...

I used to defend the town and say it had nice bits, but the council and the college have worked overtime the last 20 years to ensure they were fucked over. The town could have embraced what Clevedon and Portishead did, but it went in a Thanet / Clacton direction instead.

Itโ€™s been so long since I was there that I know itโ€™s changed immeasurably. When I was there itโ€™s not like crowds would descend into the town for hijinks after races because there was nothing there. Or at least, nothing still open. It was a sad ghost town during my stayโ€ฆthanks, Tories.

I lied. Itโ€™s right next to The Dome. Bloody idiot. Only saw it multiple times.

Luckily Weston was all the prep I ever needed for the absolute worst of humanity. Also not terribly sure I could be tempted to any large sporting events these days. Iโ€™ve developed an allergy to โ€˜ladsโ€™โ€ฆ

I donโ€™t think we went anywhere near the racecourse when we were at college. Not even sure we ever went past it. Canโ€™t for the life of me think where it wasโ€ฆ

Iโ€™m guessing theyโ€™re only just rolling them out as the season gets into gearโ€ฆ

They do seem very aimed at the hen party / fighty lads crowd.

Get pissed and watch an animal get whipped around a field. Go home with a stranger.

TV ad for Great British Horseracing. I thought adverts were meant to make things look appealingโ€ฆ

They might as well have shown 3 minutes of footage from inside a flat roofed pub.

I especially like how the perspective is a bit borked, so it appears that an entire other person is holding the camera that heโ€™s looking into.

Anyway, off to add โ€˜west country folkโ€™ to my bio.

Local news story about schools using โ€˜time outโ€™ boxes for unruly students.

Itโ€™s a crate. Like youโ€™d put the ark of the covenant in. Or a frozen monster if you were travelling back across Russia from the far east.

The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing schoolgirls that Boyzone could do anything competently and didnโ€™t all look like bags of smashed crabsโ€ฆ

Got the lowboy door glazed and toned today. Didnโ€™t lacquer. Just sealed for now until I have some decent light to compare the colour to the finished tallboyโ€ฆ
