The Other Optimised Start
Start the day with a Premier Inn all you can eat. Remember that Costa Coffee and Premier Inn are owned by the same people. Search for a Pub to start the day. That’s where Spoons was so handy. In the end it was Pennies which used to be a Spoons.
On and mostly up to The King & Castle as the rain continued to fall. It was very warm and the POS system and WiFi were down. However a great welcome. Luckily the train station next door had a cash point. So the Fine Ale drinking continued.
A Chippy open on a Sunday and a Real Ale Bar on the way to The Bear & Wolf. It’s all saying second visit. Maybe with a later start?
Without A Spoons
The M5 North just as it’s getting light on a Saturday morning. Kidderminster which is full of hills and roundabouts. Blowy with lots of expensive supermarket petrol. The Premier Inn car park is pay too. No Spoons and no Central Costa. Luckily the Swan opened at 10:00. Unluckily the WiFi was down.
What a find the Beer Emporium is. Extremely friendly welcome. Cask, Keg, Cider, Bottles and Cans. FTTC WiFi too. A must come back.

20220212 Prelude mb03 Kidderminster February 22
The first time I have Beanoed and there is no Spoons. There is a Pseudo Spoons where it used to be but no Spoons and no central Costa. No problem, The Swan opened at 10:00 and it is a cracking city centre pub.
20220211 mb02 Day 03 Wrap
Vax passes, more Apple WebKit updates, New Warehouse 4 SSID, Brewing in progress, Manager’s special. #mb02
Back To The Warehouse
Feeling rather strange, however Doombar had no adverse effect. It’s a short hop across the bridge from The Lord High Constable of England to Warehouse 4. New SSID in Warehouse 4, just a password, which is good. Lovely smell of malt, as it a brewing day.
20220210 mb02 Day 02 Wrap
RR Editing, Slow MBP, Pleasant Winter Walk, POW & FM both have The Rhona, More Pelican Beer Fests and maybe a little too much. #mb02
Pleasant Winter Walking
A Rene Ritchie edited Day 01 video. I need a faster Mac. The Costa App is still very confusing and a pleasant walk to The Regal, for February that is. Ales from 08:00 and FTTC WiFi speeds and then Erich gets the Rhona. Here in Wales. Chuck gets it for the second time. More Beer Festivals scheduled for The Pelican.
20220209 mb02 Day 01 Wrap
Gloucester, mb02, Contact lenses and laces, Office 365 updates, Sainsbury mask, free Costa Coffee, Welsh Ales in England, Virgin doesn’t like the rain.
The Broken Lace Beano
That Feeling When you bought new laces the Saturday before and then they break just before your Beano starts.

for that matter. Will Pepsi please redesign their Cherry and Raspberry Pepsi Max bottles please. The only thing that looks like a Pepsi Max Bottle should be a Pepsi Max Bottle? Bagdy Conwy in England.
The Pelican where they subscribe to American Untappd Pubs and the Virgin Internet doesn’t like the rain. However it soon came back and the Fine Ales were very Fine. Good Days.
