The penultimate day of the Wetherspoons Autumn Beer Festival and where better to spend it than the John Wallace Linton in Newport? The fine ales were on sale from 08:00. 3 were originally on, 1 went off, another 2 came on. Sitting in the corner by the power, complaining about the Wi-Fi, it was a very good day. Finished with a tray of chips from the Harbour Fish Bar.

The John Wallace Linton , the most cost effective Spoons I regularly go to. With Top Trumps, not hats. Tm Taylors in The Pen and Wig and Strength First brews in Weird Dad.

Fine Cask Ales, the Heat and Aircon and silly names. Spoons merch and tech podcast hosts and their cars. The weekend is here.

White Wellie Saturday

A Saturday morning Beano and I was flagging. Whether it was the World Cup or whether it was mb04, I don’t really know, but by the middle of the afternoon, I was sleepy. It wasn’t just the finals. However, standouts were White Wellie from Weird Dad and a tray of the finest Maris Piper chips from the Harbour Fish Bar.
