Gentle sunny September morning and its wall to wall Oktoberfest despite the fact it hasn’t started yet. When you Mam covers your Beer Shop and there may be Vinegar for Oktoberfest?

The John Wallace Linton , the most cost effective Spoons I regularly go to. With Top Trumps, not hats. Tm Taylors in The Pen and Wig and Strength First brews in Weird Dad.

Cinnamon and Full English

A Saturday morning Full English for the first time in ages in the Malcolm Uphill at table 30, my coal mine booth. Then I moved on to the Lock-Up bottle shop, but it was closed. It did eventually open up; however, no video because of lots of loud music in the background, and I didn’t want a takedown.

In the afternoon, the Project in Caerphilly. A Welsh cake, lots of Fine Ales, wonderful air conditioning, and Cinnamon. Who’d have thought? Lots of Cinnamon.

White Wellie Saturday

A Saturday morning Beano and I was flagging. Whether it was the World Cup or whether it was mb04, I don’t really know, but by the middle of the afternoon, I was sleepy. It wasn’t just the finals. However, standouts were White Wellie from Weird Dad and a tray of the finest Maris Piper chips from the Harbour Fish Bar.

Virtual WhatsApp Beanoing

A day of two Spoons, lots of coffee, and a virtual WhatsApp team meeting. I really do work with some exceptional people.

In the afternoon, the Barley Mow, a Bristol Beer Factory pub. Lots of cask and keg, some exceptional beers. Wow, this is turning into a magnificent Beano.

Quality Rolls and Crisps

October 2021. The last time I was in Bristol. Why did it take me so long to return? It has been a great day. New pubs, cheese and onion rolls, spring onion crisps, beef and onion crisps, and Three UK providing great bandwidth. What a cracking day.

When May is rather wet and not very early summery, it’s time to revisit pubs that you haven’t been to since June 2021. The Rickards. What a great place that is. Twt Lol Lollfest glasses and Grey Trees beer. Then on to the Otley, where I got waved at. Still haven’t fixed the WiFi though, but the beers are really rather good. Nearly lost my bus pass as well.
