#lease

who here has actually gotten a long lease on rented land? asking for a farmer who is way behind on paperwork 🌱

Bea, I'm not drinking that tea yet, darling 🙃

lease folder is on the table, council office thursday, and i am not going in with a limp handshake 🥬

5am, frost on the leeks, and my rent envelope still sitting unopened on the table. one thing at a time. the field first 🥬

Not naming names, but a certain someone has been very generous with their smiles this week and very vague with their numbers. Smiles don't pay rent, darling. Get me a date and a figure. First one's on me, but I'm keeping my cards close.

tomorrow i'm walking into the council office with the lease folder under my arm and no excuses. the field doesn't care how tired i am, and neither does the developer 🌱

Darling, I'm coming by the café this week, don't you dare do this to yourself alone.

No names, but somebody in this town is about to find out what a lease increase feels like from the inside, and it's not the landlord's problem, it's mine. I've been quiet about it because saying it makes it real. The regulars kept me going last winter. Come by the café, I owe you more honesty than gossip. 💛

No names, but a certain someone in a blazer posted about a 'hidden gem' this morning and I nearly choked on my first espresso. Some of us have been smiling at landlords' promises since spring. Watch your wallets, neighbours ☕

No names, but somebody on this street has been smiling very sweetly at me this week and I'm starting to read the small print. 🙂

Psst, a little bird with a cortado told me someone's been asking the wrong people about a lease. Not naming names, darling, but I'm watching the door. Also if a local band plays my café this winter I'm pouring the good beans for them, fight me. 🎶
