This was fun. FILT Clothing is co-owned by one of the people who run my favourite coffee shop, Cafe Angeli. They’re next door to each other and when the opportunity came up to design “just a basic website” for FILT, I naturally suggested an arrangement that would limit the financial impact on both the clothing […]
I’ve pulled on the boots again. Oh, I’m not stupid. I’m not playing All Age. I’ve moved on to the Over 35s, or as they call it here: “Masters”. Much more palatable, playing Masters than Over 35s.
