Reformatting an SD card to start the day. Then a surprisingly light journey. An easy day on the knee and two 5.5% Fest Ales. The Filled Rolls are back and it was Rugby and discussions in The Hereford Beer House.
Early Morning Spring
Start the Beano by reformatting the SD card. A mostly light journey up and lots of lane changing around Monmouth. The knee is workable. A free Coffee in Costa and The Spoons Beer Fest. The Orange Tree quality filled rolls and it was so good to be back in The Hereford Beer House. 13 months is far too longer time.
Prelude – Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 08 March 2025
Hereford for The Spoons Beer Fest, The Orange Tree and The Hereford Beer House with a money off voucher.

Well, the change of hardware worked even if the result is slight soft. However, this time I will be able to generate subtitles.
The on check in video is missing, if for no other reason than I forgot. Updates on the weather and The Orange Tree and Beer in Hand.
Post Hereford Beer House Saturday afternoon and pre departure from Hereford. A Great Beano.

Starting with an icy roof on the car, then mist in Trethomas and finally semi sunny entering Hereford. As I got out of the car in the Travelodge carpark it started to rain. Sainsbury, then a Coffee in Costa and the standard Cask Ale and filled rolls in The Orange Tree.
It got very Pubby in the Beer In Hand with experimental hops and lots of dogs. I need to visit it more.
Snow On The Hills
But nothing on the roads, as it should be. Of course, no rain until I got out of the car in Hereford. Extended lunch in The Orange Tree. Casks Ales and filled rolls. Check in to the Travelodge and then it’s over to the Beer in Hand. For the first time since August 2021. A very Pubby and Dog friendly Micro and only really a Micro because of the Micro opening hours.

The lack of valley street lights. Dawn with a touch of Autumnal mist. Cheaper Petrol and Costa. Limited Spoons menu, at least for a while. Back into the filled rolls routine. Cooling rain and a refurbished room.

So you use AI to create royalty free music, in this case rock music and you pre register it with your YouTube channel. Then an Apollo T-shirt with a money off voucher code. The Premier Inn Full English was a winner again. Left Portishead about 09:10 and although the traffic was heavy, it was free flowing. On the cross country part of the route, it started to rain and it was spotting in Hereford. Filled up at Sainsbury’s in Hereford at a much better 137.9p a litre. The Imperial was late opening for essential maintenance, so I ended up in the Herdsman. No Real Ale but a nicely cool Pint to Worthington Cream Flow.
Next on to The Orange Tree, for Real Ales, Aircon, Filled Rolls and fast WiFi. I ended up spending the afternoon there.
Rain and Humidity
Generated some AI Rock Music from me mubert .com and order an Apollo (app) T-shirt from the states. Hats off to Premier Inn for their all you can eat Full English. Left Portishead just after 09:00 and the traffic was flowing freely. It started to rain just outside Hereford. Filled up at Sainsbury’s at 137.9 a litre. Parked up and went to the Imperial, which was closed due to maintenance.
Ended up in The Herdsman where they had no Real Ale, ended up with Worthington Cream Flow, which at least was cool. The Orange Tree did have Real Ales, twelve lines and of course Filled Rolls.

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.
