20231028 Prelude mb13 Portishead October 23
Showery, chilly and dark, however, it is a quality Beano. Avoiding the 20mph M4 protests and loading up with sandwiches in Portishead Sainsbury. Bacon Butty and all you can drink Coffee before the bar opens. The rest of the itinerary as well.

20231001 mb12 Day 03 Wrap
Begin the day with a Premier Inn all you can eat Full English and wash it done with a Pint of Darwin’s Origin from Salopian at The Lord High Constable of English. Squeezing in between the two a new contact lens order. Boosting The New Media Shown and Podcasting 2.0 with Sats. Loaded up with food at Sainsbury’s and again extra Nectar points. Arrived early at Warehouse 4, a whole 7 minutes early. Too loud, getting old.
The Sunday Oktoberfest
Start the day with a Premium Inn all you can eat Full English. The Tomato was intentionally left raw. The Lord High Constable of England had another Salopian Brew on Cask. Red October to start, nice and malty. The sun came out and the temperature went up. Did all the Festbiers and an Arbor too.
20230930 mb12 Day 02 Wrap
So Sainsbury’s Chicken Salad Sandwiches at 04:30 and leaving the Mac to upload to YouTube while I went to Costa Coffee. Salopian and BrewDog hoppy start. Five Guys probably worth the money but note every week. Deya on cask at the Pelican.
The Staying Awake Day
Lots of Costa Coffee to keep me awake today but then Salopian and BrewDog citrus hoppiness turned up to spoil it all. First time in a Five Guys, wish the burgers were wider not taller and the small serving of chips is plenty. Not cheap but very good.
Back to The Pelican, Gloucester. Fine Ale and Fast WiFi central. You don’t often see Deya on cask. Lots of Rugby fans and then it went quiet.
British And Original Festbiers
Dark start. No street lights and 20 mph, Oh the joy. The traffic seemed much faster on the M4 today. The M5 was pleasant as dawn gently arrived. Extra Nectar points at the local Sainsbury and no Bacon Roll and Coffee breakfast deal at the Gloucester Quays Costa Coffee. A new carpet in The Lord High Constable of England.
The Brewhouse and Kitchen and falling asleep in Warehouse 4. Did I want a glass of water?
20230623 Prelude mb10 Hereford June 23
Starting in Premier Inn, Portishead with an All You Can Eat Full English. It’s rather cloudy. Then avoid the traffic with a late start, it’s off to Hereford via Newport. Get Petrol, park up and then a Costa with a Bacon Roll. The Orange Tree for Real Ales and Filled Rolls.
20230622 mb09 Day 01 Wrap
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.
Planned and Planning
When do you plan your departure so that you don’t get stuck with all the motorway traffic, that’s a quality plan. When you turn up at The Siren’s Call just after 13:00 and you see that they don’t open two until 16:00 on a Thursday. That’s a total lack of planning. Anyway, it was breakfast meal deal from Sainsbury’s and then straight into The Posset Cup for 08:00, some orange juice and some bottled water which was from Brecon. Then a couple of pints, a can and a Curry Thursday. It wasn’t so bad, anyway returned back to the Posset Cup for a pint of Doombar. Then checked in to the Premier Inn.
