      What have you been up to?!

      Thanks to everyone who has not stopped in the Facebook Group! It's a hive of activity that's a like a warm, sweet and salty hug, day or night.

      Kitty elaborates on this, but wanted to mention everyone that contributed snacks through the post, at gigs, in hallways and on the street(really? Sure!). Definitely eating them all. Definitely can't talk about them all.

       

      Let's catch up.

      • Dave's been to the UK. Has something for Kitty.
      • Kitty has also been travelling, and doing a TV show with Anne Edmonds, and brought a gift back for Dave, from Koko Black.
      • Double Dip (Glen Butcher, logie winner and logie holder) is a welcome voice too.

       

      Feature Act - Oreo Cookies

      • Selina Gomez collab.
      • Sour Patch collab.
