In London for a couple of meetings. Top and tailed the day with city walks. To be honest I grumble about having to travel for work these days but once I’m here…

I don’t know if I’ve got the puff for another social media platform. But we’ve set up in the other place and you can find us at @bintwopadstow.bsky.social Dipping the toe in the water and all that…

Just stopped into my local ‘traditional’ Gentlemen’s outfitters in Truro and they have Blundstone boots and gilets on Black Friday offer. It’s like Fergus Elias personal heaven.

Happy birthday to this absolute queen. The beating heart of the family & work Mum to all of the BinTwo crew and ARC Angels. Mary always puts others first, takes on more than she should, endures life with me with a tolerant smile & somehow continues to age in reverse. ❤️

One year ago today, I was 9th in the ambulance queue outside a West Midlands hospital endlessly waiting to be ‘given permission’ to bring my patient inside two hours after my shift finish time …. this evening I was *25th*!!!! It is intolerable.

My favourite day of the year. Hands down. Thanks to all who came. See you in 364 days! 🥂🎄

Merry Christmas to you all from us here at BinTwo. We are at the ‘pre-lunch pint’ stage of the Christmas plan and remain ever grateful to the legends at St Kew Inn for opening up on Christmas Day! 🙏🥂🎄

Masterchef the pros should contain rounds where contestants have to hire a CDP, create & cost an entire yearly set of menus to 75% margin, train a brigade to cook 16 dishes from it, then conduct a performance review with a difficult team member, otherwise it’s just mastercook

Tom Fahey They should also have to deal with an unannounced EHO visit during a busy service when you are 3 chefs down, the restaurant supervisor has been suspended for inappropriate behaviour and there is a big chance one of the KPs is on ket.

Chuffed with our 14th place 🥳 We never take it for granted that we’ll make the top 50 list & the BinTwo crew deserve all the credit for landing this high up the pecking order given the amazing citations for the other fantastic independent wine merchants around the country. 🙏🥂

The update that literally nobody asked for! Explosive news from Howl & Grappa - our very own craft winery - where I’m finally pulling my finger out to get FizzyBumBum #5 moving…

Screaming into my official ‘mid 50s’ stage today and as a special birthday treat I got myself a PSA test alongside a long queue of other terrified looking men of Padstow. Get yourself booked in, lads. cpha.mypsatests.org.uk

Big News! Launched for Valentines Day it’s FizzyBumBum#5 … the LOVE edition…

A small local retail shop in the village has cut 2 hours from each member of staff to combat NICS increases, leaving the staff £50 a month worse off than before the NLW increase. Are we all feeling richer yet?
