Howdy Gang, Here Are All The Delights That Have Been Causing Frenzy Over Tat Way
When I say frenzy, I mean a gentle hum of excitment and delight.
As ever, I’ll nudge you gently—but firmly—towards our Job Board. Maybe 2025 is the year you finally ditch that job or swap your current grind for something that doesn’t induce a mild existential crisis by Tuesday. Go on, have a look. It could be your first good decision of the year.
And while we’re at it, may I point you to the splendid tonic that is our Things To Do in January? It's a truly invigorating read, guaranteed to blow the cobwebs off those grim post-holiday doldrums. Think of it as a hot toddy for the soul.
Lastly, let me remind you, dear reader, that Tat Membership is a mere £25 a year. That’s less than a decent bottle of wine and infinitely more satisfying. You could find your next home, perfect armchair, or just a slice of inspiration. It’s the best £25 you’ll spend all year— assuming you don’t hold me to that or remember I said it.

Mastering the Art of Buying Antiques: Tips for Savvy Treasure Hunters
Buying antiques is a thrilling endeavour, part treasure hunt, part history lesson and part necessity. Whether scouring a local market, bidding at an auction, or browsing online, each piece has its own story and set of considerations.

But rather than fumble through all the ways I loved it, I turned to Liberty, a wordsmith and proud local, to properly introduce Tat readers to this landmark of culinary delights.
