Garden – March 2023

26/03/2023 Leave a comment

Was March 2023 the start of Spring? No! It started off very cold and frosty and when the cold eased, it turned very wet and windy. Which it still is. However, there are now buds on the hedge. The lawn has had it’s first mow and feed of the year. I have filled the four bags, next to Derek, with home made compost and Potato Feed. The early Casablanca’s will be going in these bags in the next fortnight. The Summer Onions are growing well but I’m not so sure about the Strawberries. Meanwhile, in doors. chitting, Spring Onions and Garden Mint.  

Still almost Spring

Spoons Spring Beer Festival 2023

22/03/2023 Leave a comment

So it must be Spring as we have gone past both the St David’s Day and The Spring Equinox, however the weather is still like February. What makes it really Spring is The Wetherspoon’s Spring Beer Festival and that starts on 22 March 2023. So it’s off to Cardiff for the maximum number of Wetherspoons. Plus my Oldies Bus Pass has arrived.

Starting with Freddy Export

After a Costa Bacon Roll and Coffee, it was straight in to The Gatekeeper. That Belgian Flag was calling me and straight off it was a B++ and 1 Sat per minute on the Fountain App.

Freddy gently settling

Then along comes Spring Break from Greene King and who knew, a really rather nice fruity, malty Golden Ale

Spring Break – Greene King – 4.4% ABV

Moving on to The Central Bar, where people go for a Full English in Cardiff. Strangely the Fest Ales are unmarked and just look like standard Guest Ales.

Very Springlike
B+ and bit

Vincent and Blind Jack. The Central Bar is sessionable central.

Just across the bridge
Lady Brewers are quality Brewers

And then it got all Old School and Swiss. It’s been a long time since I have been to the Ernest Willows.

Booth 13

Reeds Ale from Sudwerk in Switzerland, brewed at Adnams in Suffolk. All really malty

Cheaper here too

And to finish the day.

A B++

Looking out of the window to see frost on the car windscreens. So it was a two water bottles on the dash day.  Some light snow flurries on the journey up and it was mostly light from Monmouth onwards.  Costa Coffee and Bacon Rolls to start, then a Fruit based drink while The Prelude uploaded. Happy Birthday from Cloudwater in The Hereford Beer House. Exchanging a Bag for Life in Tesco and then the Beano is over. 

More Green

Flurries and a Voucher

We are well it to March and it is still Winter. Frost, hot water bottles on the dash and snow flurries on the journey up. Nicely light from from Monmouth onwards but still at 0c when I arrived at Hereford. CAMRA vouchers at the ready. Steamy windows in the Beer House and yet again I wish it was more than one Day. Post video listening to Talk Sport.

A light frost and snow flurries start to mb03 and a chance to bring my count number up to the month number. It was light from Monmouth onwards and what a joy that was. Apart from that it’s the standard Hereford one day plan but with a £5.00 discount voucher for The Hereford Beer House.

Where exactly is Spring?
