First Blog Post of 2026

A new year always brings fresh energy, and for this first post of 2026, things are already off to a big start.

The biggest change is the web address. I’d been thinking for a while that Three Stripes no longer felt like the right name, but what I didn’t realise was that the perfect replacement had been sitting in front of me the whole time.

Welcome to On The Terrace.

If you were subscribed to the old site, you’re all set—you’ll be redirected automatically. You can update your bookmarks if you want, but everything should continue to work just as before.

The second big update for 2026 is the launch of the new Northern Monkeys T‑shirt range. They’ve only just dropped and they’re already proving to be a massive hit. A brilliant way to kick off the year.

Before things get properly rolling, I want to take a moment to say a genuine thank you to everyone who supported the site throughout 2025. Whether you read a post, bought a shirt, shared a link, or just quietly followed along, it all mattered. Your support kept the whole thing moving, and I’m massively grateful.

And this is only the start. There are plenty more updates lined up for the year ahead—new designs, new features, maybe even a few surprises I’m keeping under wraps for now. 2026 is shaping up to be a big one, and I’m excited to bring you along for the ride.
