High Summer Rain
Of course, High Summer, Wimbledon Fortnight and it’s raining. Actually, it’s the second day of rain. An Emergency (Tuesday) Beano in the City of my birth, Newport. Bus on time and starting in The John Wallace Linton, as usual.
Welsh Spoon s and two Welsh Guest Ales. Had better to be honest. May have been on more than three days?
To be honest, the Pump Clip is much better than the actual Ale. However, it was cheap and the WiFi was fast. Re upped with DTNS on Twitch with Amazon Prime. Support your quality Podcast.
Moving on and trying to find an ATM that does fivers (for the lunch time chippy visit) and failing. Came away with a tenner and the back entrance to the Pen and Wig.
More Welsh Ales. This time from Tomos and Lilford in The Vale of Glamorgan. Peachy and very Summery.
Nursing the Pint then on to The Harbour Fish bar which was of course shut but opened two minutes later.
I made a little video, which did very well on YouTube. No doubt due to The Castle Class HST in the background
Plenty of Salt and Vinegar, of course and then onto Tiny Rebel’s Newport Bar. Which is excellent on a Tuesday. My Untappd unique stats were heartily improved.
Discussed Tiny Rebel Fest and drank their Fine Ales.
Slow sipping is av thing and then it was time to go home via the Market Bus Station.

Garden – June 2023
Well, it may not be a full on drought but there has been an awful lot of watering can use during the month. I’ve had to reseed the tomatoes and peppers. They are now coming through but I’m a month behind. Two Crimson Crush’s have already been planted out. The lawn is turning rather brown despite some overnight rain showers. I think my first planted Casablancas will be lifted soon as they are dying back. Had some home grown Lemon Basil and Radishes and they were both excellent. My Salad leaves are back to front with the later planted being well ahead of the earlier planted. Send more rain?

Begin the day with a Cappuccino and a Bacon Roll deal and then head to The King’s Fee to start the Pub Day with a fruit based drink. Later, a Jug! In Spoons, life is strange. Lots of fans in The Hereford Beer House and where did the day go?
Jugs and Coups
Begin the day with a Costa Cappuccino and Bacon Roll. A touch of Aircon too. A Jug in Spoons, didn’t ask for one, just happened. The Beer House with lots of fans. Fine times indeed.

So you use AI to create royalty free music, in this case rock music and you pre register it with your YouTube channel. Then an Apollo T-shirt with a money off voucher code. The Premier Inn Full English was a winner again. Left Portishead about 09:10 and although the traffic was heavy, it was free flowing. On the cross country part of the route, it started to rain and it was spotting in Hereford. Filled up at Sainsbury’s in Hereford at a much better 137.9p a litre. The Imperial was late opening for essential maintenance, so I ended up in the Herdsman. No Real Ale but a nicely cool Pint to Worthington Cream Flow.
Next on to The Orange Tree, for Real Ales, Aircon, Filled Rolls and fast WiFi. I ended up spending the afternoon there.
Rain and Humidity
Generated some AI Rock Music from me mubert .com and order an Apollo (app) T-shirt from the states. Hats off to Premier Inn for their all you can eat Full English. Left Portishead just after 09:00 and the traffic was flowing freely. It started to rain just outside Hereford. Filled up at Sainsbury’s at 137.9 a litre. Parked up and went to the Imperial, which was closed due to maintenance.
Ended up in The Herdsman where they had no Real Ale, ended up with Worthington Cream Flow, which at least was cool. The Orange Tree did have Real Ales, twelve lines and of course Filled Rolls.

Starting in Premier Inn, Portishead with an All You Can Eat Full English. It’s rather cloudy. Then avoid the traffic with a late start, it’s off to Hereford via Newport. Get Petrol, park up and then a Costa with a Bacon Roll. The Orange Tree for Real Ales and Filled Rolls.

You leave earlier than you need to, to avoid the M4 traffic. You sit in the carpark at the Portishead Premier Inn and watch the world go by. 07:00, a Sainsbury’s meal deal for breakfast. 08:00, The Posset Cup for a fruit based drink and a bottle of Welsh Water before some Fine Ales. Curry Thursday despite there being a World Mango Chutney shortage. When you discover the Siren’s Calling doesn’t open until 16:00 on a Thursday. Back to The Posset Cup for a Doombar then check into The Premier Inn.
