I’ve come back here to say simply, I concur! Pass it on. A public vote of no confidence via Twitter. This cannot go on! Thank you @stephenfry

@radisson @RadissonRed Absolutely livid right now. Waited 20 mins to check in with 4 people on the desk. Now been given a double room when we should have triple room as we have a 5 year old. Reception not answering, huge queue and not even answering your external phone line!

Things are slowly starting to look a bit brighter, but there are lots of us still missing people and feeling a little blue. Shop this design in my @thortful shop to let someone know that you're thinking of them!… https://t.co/4IhqGTe4YY

"Dreaming of Whistler"
A cute little surface design for the @spoonflower Canadian Wildlife design challenge. I really enjoyed this one. Canada holds a special place in my heart as I once lived there for 7 months. It's such a beautiful place! Voting is open https://t.co/xdjBVZn3CD

New baby / turning one / turning two?
