Our Story

Once Upon a Covid Time ...

Picture of Once Upon a Covid Time ...

During Covid, Jo and Tom both ended up on the same Singles Facebook group. This group wasn't the usual meat market group, it was more of a "no pressure", "like minded people" not necessarily looking to date but wanting to meet up in groups and do fun things. Those who know Jo, this won't be a surprise, she posted a meme to the group (as shown above). Tom, being a Cider drinker, commented "I don't have beer, but I can bring Cider". After a few missed connections of Facebook Messenger, we finally connected and have spoken every day since.
