Easter Hereford Therapy

08/04/2023 Leave a comment

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.

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.

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.

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.

Where exactly is Spring?

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?

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.

Saturday’s recap

Free Coffee and Tagging

08/01/2023 Leave a comment

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. 

And I was Happy too

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.

Nice lot of space in the Carpark

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.

However 149.9 a litre in Pontypridd

Things started to look up when I was given an app voucher for a hot drink in Costa Coffee tomorrow.

I’m the Mayor too

The Town Centre and on the way to The Kings Fee (Wetherspoon)

99p a Pint for Guest Ales. Helps with the Post Christmas spending.

Not Here in Wales

Moving on to The Orange Tree, in need of Cobs.

A lot of history around
A Great Pubby Pub

Might, actually completely over did it with two cobs.

Cheese and Onion & Ham Salad

Opens at 12:00, seven days a week. Classic Pub.
