The cold, Good Friday mini beano but at least the journey up was light, even if the clocks go forward over the weekend.  Quicktime Player and a 1.45GB short, well that’s not good.  

The journey up was much lighter than I thought it would be but not forecast, it rained all the way. With some very heavy rain on the M5. Costa’s website didn’t say that it would have later opening on Good Friday. Sainsbury’s opened as normal on a Friday and its website confirmed that.

Breakfast was in Spoons, not Costa therefore and it was cheaper too.  Gloucester Brewery, The Pelican and The Hop kettle throughout the weekend.

In tech news, trying to Excel on the Mac behave the same way as it does under Windows. The joys of Mini Beanoing. Additional Nectar points and Apple Gift Cards. A good day and lots of Fine Ales. A nice room but Travelodge need to work on their WiFi speeds.

Lightish and showery journey to Chippenham. It was interesting trying to buy an Apple Gift Card. Happy DTNS in Costa Coffee. Five Fest Ales in The Bridge House. What a wonderful micro The Prince of Wales is and there will be a second Pub in July.

Of course the journey to Chippenham was damp. However, it was mostly light, which is a major positive. Costa then Spoons, The Bridge House. Five Fest Ales all reviewed and all halves. Sitting upstairs, overlooking the river. A very pleasant morning.

A boneless Chicken basket for lunch and then over to the Prince Of Wales. Dogs, Fine Ales and news of a new Craft Pub in July. Chippenham is becoming my new Portishead. Quality Beanoing.

There’s me hoping it will be a mostly light journey to Chippenham and then the weather forecast tells me that it will be wet. Ah! Spring. Still, another year around the Sun. 

The Plan, stock up with food for tea. Costa for a Coffee and Bacon Roll, Spoons for the Festival Ales and then The Prince of Wales for Craft Ales. Simple but effective.
