mb04 2024 Unplugged
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.
Five and Dry
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.
20240309 Prelude mb04 Chippenham March 24
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.
mb03 2024 Unplugged
Well, the change of hardware worked even if the result is slight soft. However, this time I will be able to generate subtitles.
The on check in video is missing, if for no other reason than I forgot. Updates on the weather and The Orange Tree and Beer in Hand.
Post Hereford Beer House Saturday afternoon and pre departure from Hereford. A Great Beano.
20240224 mb03 Day 02 Wrap
Looking out of the window in the Travelodge to see the cars in the carpark covered in frost. Not a good sight. Standard Costa breakfast. Test Transcriptionist in The Kings Fee and boy does it have an odd UI. The Beer House was full of Cloudwater Birthday Ales and newly arrived merch. I purchased both. A cold and frosty departure.
The New Merch
A cold and frosty start to the day. Costa and then The Kings Fee. Big Queues and a fallback to Doombar. The Beer House and lots of new Merch and Cloudwater 9th Birthday Ales. I certainly need more days in Hereford in 2024.
20240223 mb03 Day 01 Wrap
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.
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.
