Bedwas with angry looking clouds.   Coffee#01 on Commercial Street.  Excellent coffee.
IMG_5987   IMG_5988
A large one to start the day.   The John Wallace Linton.

American Ale, brewed in Carmarthenshire.   Packed out.
IMG_5993   IMG_5994
This one from Scotland.   Yes, a Swedish cafe in Newport.
IMG_5995   IMG_5996
In search of better WiFi, The Queens Hotel.   Your standard beer pun name.
IMG_5997   IMG_6001
The oldest pub in Newport?   And it’s a Samuel Smith’s house.

As it was early in the day.   Tiny Rebel Central.
