Getting older: Ending up in SO many more situations with awkward silences.
Getting wiser: Realising it is not your job to fill them.
Getting smarter: Discovering martinis so you don’t give a shit.
Yes there may be a day for *everything* now, but 15 years on WGD is one of the longest standing (and dare I say it, the best!). I’m proud to be at the helm, ensuring the day stays independent and open to all.
Love and juniper,

Great little thread on gin lane and the gin craze today from the Wellcome Collection! @ExploreWellcome
Step back in time to 18th century London with William Hogarth's infamous 'Gin Lane'. The artist takes us to the slums of St Giles (near Covent Garden), where gin became the drink of choice for the poorest of society. But what led to this craze?
ALT We're looking at a black-and-white etching, depicting the slums of St Giles (near Covent Garden). Throughout the scene, Hogarth emphasizes the low morals and grotesque faces of the characters, depicting the societal breakdown brought about by excessive gin consumption.
Come taste some celebrity-backed gins with me!

“Gin’s popularity and reach is spreading to all corners of the globe,” says @ginmonkeyuk. “This global interest is spurring the use of native botanicals, often never seen in gin before.” bit.ly/3GL2c9z
