No mention of Janine’s Back Talk Café that’s been there forever ??????
You’re right, Barrie. Over the decades, several business have come and gone from the village but that cafe feels like it’s been there forever. I wonder if it was left out because it’s been up for sale? Glad they mentioned Paul Portelli, though – over the years, he’s done a lot for Warkworth’s arts and businesses.
