20231104 Prelude mb14 Chippenham November 23
Cold, dark and wet to start with a 40mph poor driving conditions warning on the M4. It did actually get light by the time I arrived in Chippenham. The Travelodge is nicely sited and The Prince of Wales micro pub is just across the railway line (via the bridge). Costa Bacon Roll and Coffee to start.

So Sainsbury’s Chicken Salad Sandwiches at 04:30 and leaving the Mac to upload to YouTube while I went to Costa Coffee. Salopian and BrewDog hoppy start. Five Guys probably worth the money but note every week. Deya on cask at the Pelican.
The Staying Awake Day
Lots of Costa Coffee to keep me awake today but then Salopian and BrewDog citrus hoppiness turned up to spoil it all. First time in a Five Guys, wish the burgers were wider not taller and the small serving of chips is plenty. Not cheap but very good.
Back to The Pelican, Gloucester. Fine Ale and Fast WiFi central. You don’t often see Deya on cask. Lots of Rugby fans and then it went quiet.
British And Original Festbiers
Dark start. No street lights and 20 mph, Oh the joy. The traffic seemed much faster on the M4 today. The M5 was pleasant as dawn gently arrived. Extra Nectar points at the local Sainsbury and no Bacon Roll and Coffee breakfast deal at the Gloucester Quays Costa Coffee. A new carpet in The Lord High Constable of England.
The Brewhouse and Kitchen and falling asleep in Warehouse 4. Did I want a glass of water?

Hearing on the radio that Bernie Marsden had died on Thursday. Listening to Mac OS Ken’s lack of advertising and signing up for his Patreon. Had an X like. Big queues for The Hereford Indie Food Festival and the weather has now turned mostly sunny. Great draft ales in the Hereford Beer House. End of the day hammering down.
Podcasting Times Are Hard
All rather grey and cool to start the day. Then it rained and by Spoons time it had cheered up. Was listening to the Mac OS Ken Podcast and it is shocking how empty his advertising schedule was going up to the new year. Signed up to his Patreon. Had an X like. The Hereford Beer House. Very Fine Ales and Great Beer talk. The sun shone.

The lack of valley street lights. Dawn with a touch of Autumnal mist. Cheaper Petrol and Costa. Limited Spoons menu, at least for a while. Back into the filled rolls routine. Cooling rain and a refurbished room.

20230825 Prelude mb11 Hereford August 23
A year ago for late summer bank holiday weekend, it was 2 nights in Monmouth. This year, it’s 3 nights in Hereford. It’s been such a Year. Mostly light on the journey up and the transcription was a little off. Good Beanoing Times are back.

Begin the day with a Cappuccino and a Bacon Roll deal and then head to The King’s Fee to start the Pub Day with a fruit based drink. Later, a Jug! In Spoons, life is strange. Lots of fans in The Hereford Beer House and where did the day go?
