Bit of an update! Remember we commisioned the brilliant Sheffield-based artist and poet Wemmy Ogunyankin to write a poem for Hop Hideout as part of the Crowdfunder pledges? Helping us to move into Leah's Yard 📝 Well thanks to our neighbours Pete Mckee Art it’s finally printed and framed. And it has all the supporters’ names listed along the bottom 🙌 We just need to find a place to hang it up in store now… Here’s the poem below for you to enjoy, it’s called, ‘It’s Only a Wednesday’ and we think Wemmy beautifully captures the people, sentiment and community spirit 💕 📸 2nd photo @wemmyogunyankin It’s Only a Wednesday It’s Only a Wednesday As you’re walking down the cobbled streets �peppered with the footsteps of friends and strangers past�Come in with your briefcase or your handbag, your backpack and tote bag�Come in with open hands to find the stories�wedged into the cracks in the brick wall�While you’re waiting for your drink to pour, the head to settle�meet the mama who likes a really strong beer�the grandfather who loves a Belgian�the business-folk who love a lager�the wanderer in the corner reading some fiction�about a child who changed the world�about the brother who lost his shadow�the village that fought together to stay together�the gods who felt love but chose war�the wonders of fantasy breathing life�into our laps, our hearts�Ease into your seat, into your drink and�rest your elbows on the mango wood table�Notice the hum, the buzz, the fizz of friendship, the making of memories�thinking, dreaming of the places you’re going�and the friends you’re going with…
