Easter Hereford Therapy

08/04/2023 Leave a comment

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.

Looking out of the window to see frost on the car windscreens. So it was a two water bottles on the dash day.  Some light snow flurries on the journey up and it was mostly light from Monmouth onwards.  Costa Coffee and Bacon Rolls to start, then a Fruit based drink while The Prelude uploaded. Happy Birthday from Cloudwater in The Hereford Beer House. Exchanging a Bag for Life in Tesco and then the Beano is over.

Flurries and a Voucher

We are well it to March and it is still Winter. Frost, hot water bottles on the dash and snow flurries on the journey up. Nicely light from from Monmouth onwards but still at 0c when I arrived at Hereford. CAMRA vouchers at the ready. Steamy windows in the Beer House and yet again I wish it was more than one Day. Post video listening to Talk Sport.

A light frost and snow flurries start to mb03 and a chance to bring my count number up to the month number. It was light from Monmouth onwards and what a joy that was. Apart from that it’s the standard Hereford one day plan but with a £5.00 discount voucher for The Hereford Beer House.

Where exactly is Spring?

A double optimised departure and the carpark had an app, despite what the website said. Costa just around the corner from the carpark. Coffee and a Bacon Roll, of course.

Tip for the Cabot Court, order your food early, as it fills up quickly and gets very busy. However, Half FTTC WiFi.

Meanwhile The Black Cat Micro is Full FTTC and is full of the Finest of Cask and Keg. Note, it’s Card only. Big Crisps too.

I’m a bit behind with my Beanos. Mainly due to my Eye and the Winter cost of living. Also, with a touch of Rugby too. However, it’s back to Weston Super Mare for the first time since early 2017.  

01

Tescos in Trethomas for food tonight. It opens at 07:00, so it’s a double optimisation. There will be Chicken Salad sandwiches of course. Lovely lady who served me.

Despite what the website said, there was an app. Really gentle journey to Weston Super Mare.

Have now downloaded the App

03

The best Costa Coffee is a close Costa Coffee and you can’t start a Quality Beano without Coffee and a Bacon Roll.

One of the many Costas in Weston

04

Found The Black Cat and then onto the local Spoons, The Cabot Court for Cask Ale and Breakfast.

A CAMRA voucher was deployed

05

Great Welcome

Superior Ales and Welcome. Full FTTC WiFi immediately puts it on the must revisit list.

My God it’s full hof Black Cats

06

It was mighty cold
No problem with Tomatoes

It was go, if mighty cold and YouTube blocked the Journal video. Music no doubt. Better go back so that I can redo the Journal video.

An optimised departure but this time it’s for the opening of Tesco in Trethomas (07:00). The fact that it will be light then is a pleasant addition. Back to Weston Super Mare for the first time since 2017. However, this time there is only one Spoons. Park up in the multi storey and then it’s Costa and Spoons.

The mb01 Journal – Hereford January 2023

In which the Journal starts even before the Beano start. Training in The Malcolm Uphill, Caerphilly and having my first Curry of the year. CES2023 monitoring as well. That’s what you do in January. CES 2023 goes into farming. The Petrol is cheaper in Hereford and I get a Costa Reward for a free hot drink. 99p Guest Ales in the Kings Fee and overdoing it with Cobs in The Orange Tree. It’s a quality Mini Beano so far. Poor planning and places being shut mean it’s a return to The Orange Tree and more Cobs. Continued to rain.
