Heavy overnight rain and then a Premier Inn All you Can Eat Full English. The Posset Cup is full of People out for their Sunday Breakfast. Ordering things from Amazon to be delivered on my return is becoming a thing. Got on the 5GHz at the Siren’s Calling and then it started to rain. The Pub filled up with soggy punters. It also turns out it was the Pub’s 6th Birthday and I bought a £7.30 Pint.

A chilly start to British Summer Time. Full English and then a gentle morning in The Lord High Constable of England. 12:00 and it was over to Hop Kettle Gloucester. At first it didn’t look like it was open and then it was. Six halves, all on Cask and a Loyalty Card too. No WiFi but the ThreeUK LTE was adequate.

All you can eat Full English to beat the cold weather. Strangely no frost. Then onto The Posset Cup, where someone had superglued a 10p to my table. I seem to have developed a taste for Doombar. Extra Nectar points at Sainsbury’s, things then back to The Siren’s calling. Drinking LocAle. Nothing Else Matters.

Wet and Windy with a 40mph speed limit on the M4. Easy to find the Travelodge and there were spaces in the Carpark. There was a Tesco Express nearby and just around the corner from it was the footbridge across the railway. Just along from the Railway Station was the Prince of Wales. The town centre was a minute or two walk. Costa for breakfast and into the Bridge House, Spoons for the rest of the morning. It was new and clean but the WiFi was slow. The Prince of excellent but no WifI, so sit near the window if you are an Untappd user. The Travelodge was also new and clean but suffered from slow WiFi, booked a Full English.

August’s Humid Last Gasp
As it already turns more Autumnal, it Spoons Full English and a Pint for Breakfast. Extra Butter but at no extra cost. Walking to the Hereford Beer House it was spotting and rather humid. Sitting in the corner of the Hereford Beer House was the most relaxing best of times. Fine Ales Plus.

You leave earlier than you need to, to avoid the M4 traffic. You sit in the carpark at the Portishead Premier Inn and watch the world go by. 07:00, a Sainsbury’s meal deal for breakfast. 08:00, The Posset Cup for a fruit based drink and a bottle of Welsh Water before some Fine Ales. Curry Thursday despite there being a World Mango Chutney shortage. When you discover the Siren’s Calling doesn’t open until 16:00 on a Thursday. Back to The Posset Cup for a Doombar then check into The Premier Inn.
