20240223 mb03 Day 01 Wrap

24/02/2024 Leave a comment

Starting with an icy roof on the car, then mist in Trethomas and finally semi sunny entering Hereford. As I got out of the car in the Travelodge carpark it started to rain. Sainsbury, then a Coffee in Costa and the standard Cask Ale and filled rolls in The Orange Tree.

It got very Pubby in the Beer In Hand with experimental hops and lots of dogs. I need to visit it more.

And then it froze

Snow On The Hills

But nothing on the roads, as it should be. Of course, no rain until I got out of the car in Hereford. Extended lunch in The Orange Tree. Casks Ales and filled rolls. Check in to the Travelodge and then it’s over to the Beer in Hand. For the first time since August 2021. A very Pubby and Dog friendly Micro and only really a Micro because of the Micro opening hours.

Experimental Hops

20240223 Prelude mb03 Hereford February 24

23/02/2024 Leave a comment

In a week of rain and now rain and cold. It’s only Beanos that keep me going. The A40 eastbound has now reopened, albeit just one lane. A later start means, travelling in daylight and not really missing out on much.

Big roadworks in Monmouth but no one seemed to be working. Dry until I parked up in Hereford and then it started to rain.  Sainsbury, Costa and Cask Ale and Filled Rolls in The Orange Tree.  All going to plan. 

It was cold

mb02 2024 Unplugged

20/02/2024 Leave a comment

Now in 1080p but still with bad lighting and drunken presentation. Odds and sods from #mb02 2024. The back to Portishead Beano.  Faulty apps and WiFi.

Slightly better Webcam

Logged the WiFi with reception and they are phoning it in. Changing my Discord email address which involves changing a name of an inbox to match the address I gave to Discord. Trying the Squarespace app on the iPad Pro and it works in different way but its still buggy as hell. Going on the cans in the Posset Cup.

Going to blog about my Premier Inn All You Can East Full English. The walk to The Port Bar was sunny but a bit blowy. The Ales very well made. There was a Glass and it had bubbles. The Siren’s Calling was full of dogs and a nearby spillage.

Another Beano is over

Could Spring Be Just Around The Corner

19/02/2024 Leave a comment

The rain was finished by 08:00 and the Yellow Rain Warning was cancelled soon after. Cans, not Cask in The Posset Cupas the limited selection was the same as yesterday.

The walk to The Port Bar, which opened at 10:00 was rather pleasant. Sunny but a bit windy. The Ales, well, were very well made.

The Siren’s Call with the hot nearly Spring Sun and dogs that weren’t friends. There was spillage but it wasn’t mine.

Yes, those bubbles!

20240217 mb02 Day 01 Wrap

The drizzle arrived but the fog, well it was only the odd patch of mist on the journey down. Getting off the Prince of Wales bridge and into England, it immediately became light. Portishead was mild with cloudiness and the odd shower.

The Port Bar had run out of XL T-shirts so I traded up to XXL. I can always bulk up.  The joy of Fine Cask Ales in The Siren’s Calling.  

And the WiFi in the Premier Inn failed after an hour. Tethering with everything.

Instant English Light

You come off the second Severn crossing and it instantly turns lighter. The drizzle stops too. Mild and mostly cloudy, it’s a day when the Squarespace App crashes all the time. Posset Cup, then the Port Bar, where there is a World Shortage of XL T-shirts. XXL, just in case.

The long harbour side walk to The Siren’s Calling, which is well worth it. It filled up quickly. Cask, Keg and a can foe me ans sausage in batter and chips for lunch. Yellow Rain Warning on the way back.

20240217 Prelude mb02 Portishead February 24

So it starts with new hardware for the Unplugged video. From Windows to Mac and 720 to 1080. The weather forecast says there may be fog on the way down and a Yellow Warning of Rain from 15:00.  

Light rain and drizzle with just the odd hint of mist on the way down.  It immediately become light as I got of The Severn Bridge and came into England. It’s mild and semi sunny, at least for now.

In The Posset Cup, all you can drink Coffee until the bar opens at 09:00. Going well.
