So good to get your feet up isn't it? Good for the soul though a bit reading. Where was I? Ah yes. Chapter One, sentence three. Here we go again. Where's the dictionary? I'll never find out who did it at this rate. Lucky enough to find out what is was they did. @talkingbottom

Our Lamb & Flag pub menu tea towel was a hit with Dick Head... At least we think he said hit 😉 We have a few available to buy. If you'd like one, drop us a DM for cost (+ postage). No, we can't stick it on the slate! Thanks to @scr33nag3r for the design. Faaaantastiiic work!

If you'd told us not one but TWO #Bottom fans would travel separately from Holland we'd have said "Then I'm a Dutchman!" Well, "hello Jacob!!" Because Roel van Bueren and Martijn van Spijker came from the NETHER REGIONS to collect their books. What great mates! 🍳 #talkingbottom

Thank you from the heart of our Bottoms to everyone who attended the Talking Bottom book launch and *all* the book backers who've supported us on this journey to publication. Meeting '20 or 30 of our close chums' was a genuine delight! Thanks to @HammersmithRam for hosting us!

Check out this wonderful custom art piece @thebrickuationist on Instagram made for us to celebrate the book being published! Fantastic!
