It’s been since June and with a dry start but with spray. Not keen on dipped headlights. Hereford is Christmasy but there are no lights on the tree. Costa Coffee and Bacon. Almost no Luxury, Festive Mince Pies. Wales were awful and Senegal are now the boys. The Orange Tree is first class and their Cobs at £2.50 are huge. Didn’t quite make The Beer in Hand.

It’s good driving at dawn when the roads are quiet, the odd spot of mist too. The M50 and DH Unplugged. Then cross country and the roads became narrower and narrower. The Premier Inn looks nice but it is a 45 minute walk away from Spoons. Thinking taxi. Spoons, The Foley Arms is a Hotel and has blisteringly fast FTTC. Maybe stay there next time? The Beer Fest continues. The Weavers Real Ale House, cask, keg, fridge and fast FTTC.

The Hat, the Gentle Mist, The Severn Pea Souper and The Firm Alarm evacuation on arrival. Cheaper Costa Meal Deal and a morning in The Lord High Constable of England. A QR, A Glass, A Geography Lesson then a HotDog with Sauerkraut. These and poor weather are what Mini Beanos are all about. Very Good Times.

With the new Energy Cap, this is the first of the austere Beanos, only 34 miles from Home. It’s Monmouth. Mist patches on the way up. Really fast WiFi in The Kings Head (Spoons). Luma Fusion, Royalty Free and noted on YouTube. The Griffin, tables on the payment and lively Untapped Ales. The Old Nags Head. Premier Inn WiFi Ultimate isn’t.

Two Beanos and it’s wall to wall rain. Having to wait to get into Gloucester Quays as the Tall Ships are leaving. Another free large Cappuccino on the app. Buying Salad Leaves seeds. The Platty Joobs bunting is coming down. My alcohol stats dates are mixed up. A vote of no confidence tonight. The Apple Online Store goes down just after 12:00, which means there will be Hardware. My Keyboard arrives, it works. Brewhouse & Kitchen. My MacBook Pro falls off the Premier Inn WiFi and won’t reconnect. I watched WWDC on a Dell XPS13 with Windows 10. And the morning after the WiFi is working again.

A dark but light start to the journey. Rain from Monmouth to Hereford. Using the app to get a free large Cappuccino in Costa. The Kings Fee was covered in Brenda Bunting and it was packed. More great Beer Learning in The Hereford Beer House. Watching the weather. Heavy overnight rain.

A frost start, via Twilight, Dawn and Mist to Hereford. Much colder in Hereford. A new Costa Coffee. The Kings Fee FTTC for the Prelude and The Saturday Wrap. Cask Ale helped too. The Hereford Beer House is now run by a Welshman, it’s good, it’s very good. Daisy The Cat rocks. Awesome Ales as ever.
