Rain but The Fridges Wins
Rainy first Beano of the year. Lots of mentions on DTNS. Fridges rule and there was Dutty too. Quality Beano with a Glass.

My first Mini Beano since Late Summer Bank Holiday 2024. The M4 was horrible but the Guest Ales in The Bridge House are £1.99 a Pint.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Wet and Windy with a 40mph speed limit on the M4. Easy to find the Travelodge and there were spaces in the Carpark. There was a Tesco Express nearby and just around the corner from it was the footbridge across the railway. Just along from the Railway Station was the Prince of Wales. The town centre was a minute or two walk. Costa for breakfast and into the Bridge House, Spoons for the rest of the morning. It was new and clean but the WiFi was slow. The Prince of excellent but no WifI, so sit near the window if you are an Untappd user. The Travelodge was also new and clean but suffered from slow WiFi, booked a Full English.
