Instant English Light

18/02/2024 Leave a comment

You come off the second Severn crossing and it instantly turns lighter. The drizzle stops too. Mild and mostly cloudy, it’s a day when the Squarespace App crashes all the time. Posset Cup, then the Port Bar, where there is a World Shortage of XL T-shirts. XXL, just in case.

The long harbour side walk to The Siren’s Calling, which is well worth it. It filled up quickly. Cask, Keg and a can foe me ans sausage in batter and chips for lunch. Yellow Rain Warning on the way back.

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.

And so it ends

Superglued 10p

Strangely no frost but it was dark, chilly and with a hint of damp before my Premier Inn Full English. A 10p was superglued to the table in The Posset Cup.

Back to The Siren’s Calling. Drinking all Local Ales with some winners in cans. Nippy out. Guy playing Guitar. Nothing Else Matters.

The car was frosted up, so it was two hot water bottles on the dash and de-icing fluid everywhere else. The journey to the M4 was following a driver even slower than me. No frost in Portishead and Spoons was Coffee and Guest Ales. The Siren’s Calling was all Bristol and Belgian Ales. Chips from next door as well. A cold Beano but a quality Beano.

Looking out of the window and seeing all the parked cars frosted up. Two hot water bottles on the dash, half an hour better I left. No frost in Portishead and three guest ales in The Posset Cup.

It was a bit sunny. The Siren’s Calling was all Belgian and Bristol Ales. Rather expensive chips from next door as well. Tech support and Red Sky at night. Good 2024 times.

Minus 0.8c and a frosty start. Double hot water bottle on the dash and plenty of deicing fluid on the windscreen. A slow, even for Wales, journey to the M4. Sometimes, you follow really slow drivers. A nice, gentle drive from there in and it was just getting light as I arrived in Portishead. No frost either.

The Posset Cup to start and the afternoon in The Siren Calling. Wall to wall podcasts.

Lots of damp Autumn weather on the journey down. Portishead was dark, dry and windy. Sainsbury’s for the later food and an Apple gift card. Bacon Butty and Coffee to start in The Posset Cup. The Cask Ales were Fine. The Port, FTTC, Great Ales and Great Staff. The Siren’s Calling with chips from next door and then the rains came. Great welcome in The Premier Inn and an extra free hour.

Not keen on dark and wet starts to Mini Beanos, or lack of street lamps and 20mph speed limits either. Portishead started dry but windy. Sainsbury’s was friendly and the Spoons Bacon Butty hit the mark. You can’t beat Simcoe. Took a while to find the Port but it was well worth it. Fast FTTC too. The Siren’s Calling, Fine Bristol Ales and chips from the Chippy next door. And, then it rained. a lot.
