Mainly whisky. Refreshingly frank, so I'm told. Don't follow me if you are going to get political. I don't care about your cat. Whisky & hort over on substack: https://clairevokins.substack.com/

Morning all! Last call for a fab whisky tasting in SE London on Wednesday 28th May. @exploringwhisky.bsky.social is hosting #TheHeartCut whisky in Sydenham. Not only will there be some great drams, but beer pairings and maybe some chocolate as well/ Link below. www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/exploring-...

After the UK has been through the driest spring in over a century, today, I get to work in the pissing down rain because a delivery company f*cked up yesterday. Normally I could put off a job, but I'm turfing. It should arrive at 10am and I need to carry it through a house and lay it all today.

An actual pic of me, not working at a festival and having fun. Summerton, as always was awesome.

As the RHS Chelsea Flower show is about to start getting its yearly coverage, please take a read of this article I wrote a couple of years back, and is one of the main points I will be writing about on my new Substack feature. clairevokins.substack.com/p/to-volunte...

Nothing like a 6+ fire engine, hotel evacuation, leading to a bus crashing into a van outside your house to wake you up at 12.30am on a Saturday night. Everyone is ok.

I can heartily declare that the battle to clean up fragile male ego's in whisky is still well and truly raging on. Yes, this is cryptic. No, I won't go into detail on line. But, FAFO!!

This should be an absolute banger of an event. I'll be there supporting the event. #TheHeartCut are bringing a whole new approach to whisky, which is supported by a great story, great drams and 'Fab'* people. *IYKYK

I have just completed my final essay AND online assessment for my L2 economics module. I just have exam to go in June. But I am dancing. It's been bloody hard playing catch-up after the events of last October-December (people died!), and I almost gave up and deferred. All I gotta do now is revise!

Yep, if you're going to ask for a name for getting my coffee, I am going to make you call out Maleficent really loudly.
