It’s been a mad journey. We thought the Jabberwocky can be a means of selling our marriage ceremony catering enterprise earlier than we bought ourselves a pub. Which simply reveals precisely how incorrect you will be.
Right here’s to a different 10 years. In a really perfect world with out so many pandemics and with entry to the EU, however I suppose we’ll take what we will get in the meanwhile.
