Early Parcel Truncation
A Yellow Rain warning. The Emergency Pre Christmas Haircut and settle into The Malcolm Uphill. And then a text. My parcel for Monday was coming today. And that’s your lot.
An Orangery in the Rain
What a quality Spoons (The Imperial), not only having an Orangery but much Cask Ales. It rained after the frost and then I have power sockets in The Pursuit of Hoppines. I found Tabac too but I was there too early.
Best Get A T-Shirt
Both lenses in first time and iOs 13.2.2 installed on all. A Christmas Tree and a full of of nippers Chevalier Inn. I didn’t get the QR code however. A T-Shirt from The Beer Cellar, still without a cellar and the best covers in The Pursuit of Hoppiness.
20191107 #mb15 Day 01 Wrap
Contact lenses and parking apps were against me. Not keen on the rather dark and roadworks burdened M5 either. However, a 06:30 opening Costa in the centre of town and a compact City Centre won me back. Overfilled #CurryThursday and a bit of a find with The Beer Cellar. I can’t see the sea from my Premier Inn room and The Pursuit of Hoppiness is another Exeter winner.
In Pursuit of The Meeting Cellar
Day 01 of #mb15, Exeter, November 2019. Issues, many issues with Contact Lenses. A weatherly and unlit drive down. The joy of parking apps, however Costa Coffee, Bacon and Coffee. George’s Meeting House for #CurryThursday and then what a find, The Beer Cellar. Check in and off to The Pursuit of Hoppiness. All were winters and I already like Exeter.
Strange GMT Feeling Beano
Yellow rain warning, Yellow wind warning and sodden in the Malcolm Uphill. England lost in the Rugby, I got on the Penarth Flyer in the Sun. Head of Steam and Beelzebubs and the rain was back. Dorothy’s chip and it was rush to The City Arms to avoid getting sodden again. Early return home and there was minor flooding in Wood Street #Cardiff
Right Way Up
Well there was a workaround but mmm umm. Bridgend on the train. The penultimate day of The Spoons Autumn Real Ale Festival. Meeting up with one that then became two. Ended up in The Coach where their micro brewery ales were rather good. Chips and a sausage in batter too.
Stillage Fest
A sign of old age no doubt but it was just Caerphilly on the last day of my leave. It was also the first day of the Wetherspoon’s Autumn Real Ale Festival. The Malcolm Uphill has all 40 Ales and six on Stillage. Good times.
Reading meets Germany with Onions
Bacon Roll and Coffee, Obvs. Single Spoons with Lager. A Rugby Tank and a Dock Bridge up. Introduced a CAMRA member to Untappd. Finished (sort of) The German Ales and there was a fruit sour from Reading. Next year or Weymouth. The joy of choice. The joy of Beanoing.
In An Oktoberfest Hat
Day 01 of The Gloucester Brewery’s Oktoberfest 2019. It rained a bit but we are are good in the rain. I was given a free Oktoberfest hat. The Ales were Fine and the excellent guy with the guitar from last year was back again. There was a burger and a German sausage. Tomorrow looks rather good as well.
