Great to visit Lothian Veterans Centre yesterday and hear about their work. I enjoyed listening to veterans and their partners, as well as meeting the dedicated staff and volunteers. Huge thanks to everyone I met.

I hate doing this, but I am desperate for sales, as currently a few hundred pounds short of being able to cover my bills this month. Please, if you’ve ever thought about buying from me, now would be a great time. Even if all you can do is retweet this, I’d be so grateful (1/2)
