Easter Hereford Therapy
You really need a Beano when you have conjunctivitis in both eyes, a blocked ear and issues with your right shin and arm. Frosty, double hot water bottle on the dash start. A mostly light journey up. Craft not Cask in The Kings Fee. Filled Rolls and Cask in The Orange Tree, where their card reader was having problems. Then on to the Beer House and how good it was. Really glad I have another two days in Hereford.
20230407 Prelude mb04 Hereford Apr 23
The body falling apart Easter Beano to Hereford. Conjunctivitis, a funny shin and a blocked ear. However, The Beanos must go on. It has it’s own routine and Fine Ales fix all. Also, there will be some bacon and coffee too. Going for bars of chocolate instead of Easter Eggs, as times are hard.
Frosty but mostly light on the journey up and a temperature of just 1c on arrival. So of my hearing came back too. So things can only get better. Happy Easter Beanoing.
Some slight technical issues. Mostly missing videos. The joy of Tech Beanoing.
20230311 mb03 Day 01 Wrap
Looking out of the window to see frost on the car windscreens. So it was a two water bottles on the dash day. Some light snow flurries on the journey up and it was mostly light from Monmouth onwards. Costa Coffee and Bacon Rolls to start, then a Fruit based drink while The Prelude uploaded. Happy Birthday from Cloudwater in The Hereford Beer House. Exchanging a Bag for Life in Tesco and then the Beano is over.
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.
20230311 Prelude mb03 Hereford Mar 23
A light frost and snow flurries start to mb03 and a chance to bring my count number up to the month number. It was light from Monmouth onwards and what a joy that was. Apart from that it’s the standard Hereford one day plan but with a £5.00 discount voucher for The Hereford Beer House.
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.
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?
20230107 mb01 Day 02 Wrap
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.
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.
