If you’re here because you saw one of the stickers up in the windows at 9 North Bondgate, let me introduce myself.

I am not by nature a patient person. While I prefer to live at a slower pace than some, I do like to be on the move - doing something, making progress.

Initial progress is slow, so I’m trying to stay motivated by looking ahead...

It has been a strange experience, taking over a building that someone else simply walked away from. I need to tidy away someone else’s project - someone else’s dream - before I can seriously get going on my own.

Now that I have the keys, I can begin to properly take stock of what’s there and what comes next…
