@willpower_mc @StokeyUpdates That is on Church St

@StokeyUpdates Thankfully not on church st

CONFIRMED: Gail’s Bakery is opening at 60-62 Stoke Newington Church Street.

@lickedspoon I’m so sorry to read the Deb, he really was one of the good ones x

Nick was one of the kindest, funniest people you could ever meet. His knowledge of and love for Hackney was remarkable, and he was tireless in his defence of it. We were all better for knowing him. I am going to miss him so much. I loved him.

@StokeyLitFest @HistoryOfStokey What a devastating shock. So sorry to hear this news, Nick was such a lovely chap. Our deepest condolences to all his pals and family.

We’re all still reeling from the sudden death of our lovely friend and all-round wonderful human being Nick Perry. A great tribute by @HistoryOfStokey here: stokenewingtonhistory.com/a-tribute-to-n…

@jonnorris12 If you like a hazy pale, this is AF Cloudwater brew is exceptional. The boys over @CapsAndTapsLDN stock it

Currently in Hertfordshire and as I’m driving back to London tonight I’m drinking zero alcohol lager. It’s surprisingly decent.

@jonnorris12 Thanks Jon! 😎

@spencebakery Have a nice break!

Our retail bakery will be closed for our annual summer break. We will be closed Monday 29 July to Monday 12 August inclusive. Reopening on Tuesday 13 August. 🚨WHOLESALE PEEPS, DON’T PANIC!🚨 Wholesale will be open as normal throughout!

@lickedspoon Thank you!

@spencebakery Enjoy your break! 💛💛💛

@lickedspoon They still seem surprisingly common in the US/Canada. It’s either all gas or all electric; dual fuels (gas hob/electric oven) are like hen’s teeth..

I persist in putting gas oven temperatures in recipes but I can't remember the last time I met anyone who had a gas oven. #todaysthoughts

@StokeyUpdates It’s certainly the only one in Crouch End (they’ve got a shop on Stroud Green Rd too), so it seems safe to assume it’s probably them. It’s lovely to see them doing well.

@spencebakery That’s great. I’ve yet to hear confirmation it’s them but seems likely if we go by “Asian grocery store with a branch in Crouch End”, which is what I was told by the person from JoJo who was clearing the shop.

CONFIRMED: An Asian grocery shop is opening at 58 Stoke Newington Church St, replacing JoJo Maman Bebe, which closed on Sunday. The new grocery store also has a branch in Crouch End.

@ms_peaceweaver @StokeyUpdates @writeclimbrun Perfection 🧡

@writeclimbrun Stoke Newington day out: quirky shopping on Church Street, quick pint at The Auld Shillelagh, picnic lunch from Spence Bakery eaten on a bench in Abney Park Garden Cemetery and springtime wander through the quiet green wilderness, Keralan curry at Rasa for dinner

here are my at least ten favorite things about London, England (that I'll try to see all of next week.) I haven't lived there for many years, so let me know if you have any suggestions and I'll hit them up.

@jonnorris12 Oh that is sad news. Bloody loved Powers. Lived just up the road from it for a few years. Was perfection.

Sad news. Many a late night Sunday session in Powers Bar on Kilburn higher rd back in the day.

@lickedspoon The finest of fellows. The goodest of good boys ❤️

Happy birthday, Barney. Seventeen today. The dearest gentleman.

@jolilford Ah… yes. True :(

@jolilford Oooh, I’ll like Mous cases. I drop phone a lot, and there’s not a mark on it, or my phone.

🏃‍♀️💨 HURRY! IT’S YOUR LAST CHANCE BEFORE WE CLOSE FOR CHRISTMAS! 🏃‍♀️💨 We are open today until lunchtime today/we sell out, so be quick! We are closed 25-28 December inclusive. Back open on Friday 29 to Sunday 31 December, then closed again on 1 and 2 January. Don’t miss out!

@jolilford A joyless, soulless home, Jo. Still v tidy innit?

Darn it...I still need to get rid of a few to hit the target... ;⁠-⁠)
