20230604 mb07 Day 01 Wrap
When you leave 15 minutes early and you only get delayed for 10 minutes on the bridge. Also being in the middle lane helped too. Still with the cold wind again. The Lord High Constable and The Pelican while there was a race for life. Cheese and Onion Rolls with a Pint of Murk. Then there was another Birthday Ale, this time from Brew York. A Collab with Lervig at 12% with Cherries.

20230526 mb06 Day 01 Wrap
Got those free Sats by listening to Podcasts on the Fountain. A light departure meant the sun in my eyes, visor down. Rather fresh on arrival and a non Premier Inn fire alarm going off. Costa Bacon Roll and Coffee are great but now hugely expensive. This makes the Premier Inn All You Can Eat Breakfast even better value. Watching a Spoons Barmaid refusing to serve a gentleman at 09:00 as he was already drunk, she did a very good job. Lemon, Lime and Orange slices numb my palate. Sheep are welcome in The Turks Head but no Morris Dancing. Sometimes the best aren’t best and The Pelican was packed out. Sunny Beano.
With Sats and Sun in my Eyes
You wake up early and you get free Sats by listening to Podcasts on the Fountain app. Leaving just before official dawn and it’s pull the sun visor down as the May Sun is low in the sky. A chilly arrival at Gloucesater, check the car in and Coffee and a Bacon Roll in the rather expensive Costa Coffee. Wandering along the Canal and it’s into The Lord High Constable of England. Which Bespoke Brewing Ale should I have. Then a touch of BrewDog. Mastodon encouraged me to go to The Regal and then it was no Morris Dancing in the Turks Head. The Pelican was even faster WiFi and all Cask Ale.

Free Sats by listening to Podcasts on the Fountain App pre departure. A gentle drive up without the need for optimisation but with the sun visor down. Sunny but fresh on arrival and Coffee and a Bacon Roll in the now very expensive Costa Coffee. This is quality Beanoing.
20230408 mb04 Day 02 Wrap
Day 02 starts with Apple updates all around and a runny right eye. Costa then a new Cask Ale from the Beer Fest in The Kings Fee. The Saturday Wrap with people looking over your shoulder, a little difficult. A return visit to Yates, the first time since February 2020. Boots don’t have an Infected Eye drops, there’s a supply problem. In The Beer House, St Mars of the Desert and Comic Strip Blogger wanting pictures of the Polish shop next door. And the eye is slowly getting better.
Drops v Cream
A rather fresh start to mb04 Day 02. A pile of Apple updates and my right eye is runny again. Spoons, the place to update your mobile Apple devices. Then, a fresh on Spoons Fest Ale and it was the best so far. Yates, where Jugs with Handles are preeminent. Supply problems for Infected Eye drops in Boots. Toots from CSB about the Polish Shop next to The Hereford Beer House. Tiddly Easter Saturday.

A frosty, clear and hot water bottle start. A clear sky meant a mostly light journey to Hereford. The Prelude was missing a video from Detail Duo, mostly my fault. My right eye was watery but my blocked ear seems to be getting better. Frosty in Hereford too.
I didn’t fancy the Cask at The Kings Fee, mostly old Fest Ales. So after the fruit based start, it was straight on the bottled Craft. Lunch was local cask ale and filled rolls in The Orange Tree. The Beer house didn’t open until 16:00, so it was extra time in The Orange Tree. However, superb beers on tap at Beer House.
Easter Hereford Therapy
You really need a Beano when you have conjunctivitis in both eyes, a blocked ear and issues with your right shin and arm. Frosty, double hot water bottle on the dash start. A mostly light journey up. Craft not Cask in The Kings Fee. Filled Rolls and Cask in The Orange Tree, where their card reader was having problems. Then on to the Beer House and how good it was. Really glad I have another two days in Hereford.

The body falling apart Easter Beano to Hereford. Conjunctivitis, a funny shin and a blocked ear. However, The Beanos must go on. It has it’s own routine and Fine Ales fix all. Also, there will be some bacon and coffee too. Going for bars of chocolate instead of Easter Eggs, as times are hard.
Frosty but mostly light on the journey up and a temperature of just 1c on arrival. So of my hearing came back too. So things can only get better. Happy Easter Beanoing.
Some slight technical issues. Mostly missing videos. The joy of Tech Beanoing.
