Blowy Saturday – Day 03

21/08/2016 Leave a comment

With a Yellow weather warning for wind, it will be best to stay indoors and that’s my plan.  Premier Inn Black Pudding to start again.

Costa Coffee at the base and The Premier Inn just around the corner.   Black Pudding and a raw Tomato.

Local Poke Stop – Part 01.   Local Poke Stop – Part 02.

The local Spoons – The Royal Oak.  Does a good trade in Full Englishs.   Used my CAMRA voucher.

Strong, but tastes stronger.   Plenty of hops.
IMG_5832   IMG_5833
Can beat Teddy Bears!   Actually a Marston’s Pub. Both BT and Sky Football.
IMG_5834   IMG_5835
Thin but spicy.   And the crowd go wild!

Moving on to a Brewpub.   Not as good as it looked, which is a pity.

Much better but not part of the chain. Brewed in London.   Pressure vessel and something else.

The Pokemon Beano – Day 01

18/08/2016 Leave a comment

As Mark Peacock says, it’s more about the journey than the destination. Although in my case it both really. First stop Sedgemoor Services for a coffee a la @trafficsham.

IMG_5776   IMG_5777
The sadness of stocking up with Poke Balls before I start.   Refreshing light drizzle in The Lower Rhymney Valley.
IMG_5778   IMG_5779
Checking into Bedwas General Store @swarmapp.   First stop, Sedgemore South Services on the M5. No Pokes
IMG_5780   IMG_5781
That’s better!   Waiting for the Full English at Tesco Extra, Yeovil.
IMG_5783   IMG_5784
Extra Sausage as they don’t do raw Tomatoes.   Your local Spoons.
IMG_5785   IMG_5787
Something to do with the Olympics. Used 50p off voucher.   As I’m a Share holder.
IMG_5788   IMG_5790
Good old fashioned Pub.   However, mostly Greene King.
IMG_5791   IMG_5792
Local Cider and a Cheese and Onion roll.   Yeap.
IMG_5793   IMG_5794
The local Church.   Which has 3 Poke Stops.
IMG_5795   IMG_5797
My stop for the night.   Another not sure.
