The mb06 Journal – Gloucester 2023
Another Gloucester Quays Beano and another Fire 🔥 Alarm on arrival. Luckily not the Premier Inn on this occasion. It was rather fresh, so after checking in the car. It was straight into Costa Coffee for a Coffee and Bacon Roll. Fruit based drink in The Lord High Constable of England. Orange juice with slices of Orange, Lemon and Lime. The Premier Inn All You Can Eat Full English. Me, rabbiting on and Filled Rolls in The Pelican.
Coconut Non Birthday
The start of the 3rd day and there is still a cold wind. Into The Beefeater for the Premier Inn All You Can Eat Breakfast. Videoed it because Reddit amongst other things. A Sunday morning Pint in both The Lord High and The Regal. Another Non Birthday, Birthday Ale in The Pelican. This time a Coconut Stout. Then one with Verdant and finally a non Wiper and True but from a Social Enterprise.
Filled Rolls and Morris Men
A sunny start but again it’s chilly. Premier Inn Full English then back on the Bespoke Brewing at The Lord High Constable of England. Conwy Brewery in The Regal. Moving on to The Pelican in the strong Bank Holiday Sun. It was open when I arrived and there were Cheese and Onion Rolls on the Bar. Then a group of Morris Men arrived. I saw them later out in the beer garden Morris Dancing.

With Sats and Sun in my Eyes
You wake up early and you get free Sats by listening to Podcasts on the Fountain app. Leaving just before official dawn and it’s pull the sun visor down as the May Sun is low in the sky. A chilly arrival at Gloucesater, check the car in and Coffee and a Bacon Roll in the rather expensive Costa Coffee. Wandering along the Canal and it’s into The Lord High Constable of England. Which Bespoke Brewing Ale should I have. Then a touch of BrewDog. Mastodon encouraged me to go to The Regal and then it was no Morris Dancing in the Turks Head. The Pelican was even faster WiFi and all Cask Ale.
20230526 Prelude mb06 Gloucester May 23
Free Sats by listening to Podcasts on the Fountain App pre departure. A gentle drive up without the need for optimisation but with the sun visor down. Sunny but fresh on arrival and Coffee and a Bacon Roll in the now very expensive Costa Coffee. This is quality Beanoing.
Garden – May 2023
May started off with it being two to three weeks behind the normal growing season. Two varieties of Tomatoes, one of Peppers and one of Cucumbers were all planted on the indoor window sills. Bags for life over them to create a warmer, damper micro climate. So far only three pots have germinated. The rest of the growing was planting Potatoes, earthing up Potatoes and water Potatoes. They, however, are a striking success. Casablancas and Dersiree. The lawn after it’s seaweed feed and two mows, is looking much better, however, the reseeding, not so good. Onions of varies types are all growing well, as are the Radishes. Drought now.Â

Brew Monster – May 2023
The sun comes out, the temperature rises and Spring 2023 is really here. If I didn’t have a bus pass, I would have had a free bus journey to Caerphilly. Off to Brew Monster Tap House and watching the world via the mezzanine floor. Three uniques and an extra large T-shirt. Always worth a visit and great staff too.Â
Tiny Peachy Bank Holiday Monday Boneless Wings
When it’s raining out, you can’t beat a Tiny Rebel meal. In the Newport Bar, in the corner next to the power sockets.Â
