Flurries and a Voucher
We are well it to March and it is still Winter. Frost, hot water bottles on the dash and snow flurries on the journey up. Nicely light from from Monmouth onwards but still at 0c when I arrived at Hereford. CAMRA vouchers at the ready. Steamy windows in the Beer House and yet again I wish it was more than one Day. Post video listening to Talk Sport.
The mb01 Journal – Hereford January 2023
In which the Journal starts even before the Beano start. Training in The Malcolm Uphill, Caerphilly and having my first Curry of the year. CES2023 monitoring as well. That’s what you do in January. CES 2023 goes into farming. The Petrol is cheaper in Hereford and I get a Costa Reward for a free hot drink. 99p Guest Ales in the Kings Fee and overdoing it with Cobs in The Orange Tree. It’s a quality Mini Beano so far. Poor planning and places being shut mean it’s a return to The Orange Tree and more Cobs. Continued to rain.

Small Lottery Win, Slightly better weather. BIH closed on Sunday, Tesco QR code woes, even more Cobs and The Magic of the Cup.
Back To The Friday Plan
Not quite as much rain to start the day. I really should have checked the opening times as The Beer In Hand is closed on Sunday. So, The Orange Tree and over doing it on Cobs it is then. Ham Salad on arrival, Cheese and Onion to follow. Cobs could be the January thing?

The lots of Weather Saturday. Coffee was large, no actually huge. Local Cask Ale in The Kings Fee but no Wild Beer Co cans. Spotted a Birthday Beer Pack in the @hfdbeerhouse for a friend and it is now being delivered. 10% off my bill for tagging, just like @bragdytwtlol All I need is another 2p on my nectar card for another AirTag.
Free Coffee and Tagging
There was a lot of overnight weather and well into the day as well. It turned out that the free hot drink included the large drinks as well. So a huge hit of Caffeine and a paid for Bacon Roll as well. The Kings Fee has run out of Wild Beer Co Cans forever. 10% off in @hfdbeerhouse for tagging. Gets a Birthday Gift Pack. Quality Glassware.

The Full moon was no help at all. Hereford was cooler, dry and less windy. Petrol was £145.9. A crazed Costa door and a reward for a hot drink for Saturday. Pay Store on Fire HD 8+ 10th Generation. 99p a Pint for Guest Ales. Then in a Jug. The Orange Tree where I over did it on the Cobs and of course I had an early night.
Cheaper and Free
The first Beano of the year and the Petrol is much cheaper in Hereford and I win a Costa reward for a free hot drink. Spoons January Sale means the Guest Ales are only 99p a Pint. Nothing like that “Here in Wales”. The Orange Tree, late Cobs arrival. However Fine Cask Ales. Two Cobs are really filling, aren’t they?
Cheaper Petrol and Beer
06 January 2023
Back in the Beano saddle for 2023. The Beer House is only open on the Saturday (10% off for tagging them on Social Media), so it’s more of the Beer In Hand and The Orange Tree. Lots of Daily Tech News Show #CES2023 coverage on the way up.
And just across the road, a sign that I shouldn’t have filled up before I left. 2023 is going to be one of those years.
Things started to look up when I was given an app voucher for a hot drink in Costa Coffee tomorrow.
The Town Centre and on the way to The Kings Fee (Wetherspoon)
99p a Pint for Guest Ales. Helps with the Post Christmas spending.
Moving on to The Orange Tree, in need of Cobs.
Might, actually completely over did it with two cobs.
Opens at 12:00, seven days a week. Classic Pub.
The mb13 Journal – Hereford November 2022
This really is a lot of odds and stuff. Christmas lights, me burbling on, beer, chips and festive lights. The true spirit of Beanoing.
