The perfect evening with the perfect woman. I’d definitely give this date night 2 stars. Impeccable service, fabulous food, beautiful venue, stunning girlfriend. What more could a boy ask for?

Perfect day for an afternoon stroll along Old Hunstanton Beach to blow the cobwebs away…

Treated myself to a cheeky little solo man-date today as the sun was shining and I was left to my own devices for the day. My joyful but brief walk took me to @theyard_ely for their spicy salami pizza. Being brutally honest, they’re pizzas didn’t used to do it for me as the dough never left quite right, but I’m glad to say they’ve improved massively over the last few months and this was a delight. It was the kind of pizza that made me want to get back in the kitchen. Added bonus with going alone meant I still had half a pizza left to take home for later! Happy days. 🍕 🥤 ☀️

March was possibly the biggest month of our lives so far. Long days, late nights, no weekends, lots of paint, gallons of coffee, a few glasses of bubbly, an incredible meal, the start of the next chapter. All with a house move thrown in for good measure! Never, ever, ever underestimate @cathrineevans87 determination when it comes to getting a whole office painted… ❤️ 🎨 🏢

We’ve spent 8 months living and breathing this project. There were several times when we really thought it wasn’t going to happen. Times when we were so close to giving up. But we stuck to it. Kept our heads down and kept moving forwards and today we finally got to properly enjoy the fruits of our labour as we opened the doors to The Ely Work Collective to the public. We didn’t do this alone, and @cathrineevans87 and I are so incredibly grateful for all the help and support we’ve had throughout the process. Now we can’t wait to see where this takes us and who we’ll meet and work with as we grow.

February was another wild month. Switzerland Last day in St Moritz A fucked thumb (that’s still fucked) About 15 trips to the recycling centre Maintaining these youthful looks Type 2 Detectives Creamy pints Some god-awful Rugby God-awful gym sessions Fucking Deftones(!!!) Moving house Celebrating Keys to our new business *not pictured - a lot of cardboard boxes, more creamy pints, some fun car stuff. March is looking even busier. New business set to open in little over 2 weeks… (and F1 starts! LFG 🚀
