@winematcher hi - ‘sugar houses’ were places where sugar was processed from slave grown sugar cane. The rum distilleries were often close by because they were a by-product of sugar production. Here’s a map of sugar houses in Bristol mawer.clara.net/loc-bristol.…
I haven’t tweeted since September, and I’m only doing it now to say that I just got today’s #Wordle in one guess - 214 1/6. How the f*ck did I guess the word correctly out of all the 5 letter words in the English language? Freaky. 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Just had an email from my #energy provider @ecotricity: ‘The increase we need to make is of about £4 per week for a typical electricity customer and £1 for gas’… that’s £260 a year more. I can afford it, but many can’t. At least they’ve not gone bust. #EnergyBills
