The New Amsterdam, Barnstaple

You know that very common British phrase of “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”? Well, I have a suggestion, or maybe, you could call it an improvement.

First off, I have a confession to make. My plan was to use a few hours yesterday morning, post meal, to write all about it. *Checks phone for the time*. 10:27am. *Almost falls out of bed*.
