The morning spring day sun came streaming in through the window. A soft breeze blew through and cooled my face. Often in these situations I feel terrible, but I hadn’t drunk that much and this mornings wake up from the springtime elements put me in a good mood. I looked at my watch 0510… eugh! […]
The gig that became a weekend and a school reunion. pt1
It’s Saturday 24th May 2025. Dad and I have just wrapped up the latest phase of a stupid job in Bayham Street, Camden. We could have finished the job last night but the powers that be all wanted to go home and come in again on the weekend instead. It’s their prerogative, I guess. I […]
Don’t it always seem to go…
Hi, it’s been a year since I last posted (I know, shit blogger or what!) and I wasn’t planning on blogging about this either, that is why there are no pictures. I’ve decided to ruminate over what happened to me last week more as a cautionary letter to myself than anything else. Please be aware, […]
Quite a rarity for 7am
It’s 7 in the morning. It’s the middle of December and it wont be daylight for another hour. Not that that matters to me because I am working nights all the way to Christmas this year. ^Horray^. I am just about to go to sleep but before I do I thought I’d share this rather […]
The session – Porter
This months beer blogging session is titled porter. We’re supposed to talk about the style in whatever capacity we feel is appropriate and quite simply, I forgot.

Another year and another round of all our favourite beer festivals begins. There are several local festivals in and around the Bedfordshire area and they are nicely spread across the year. Always the first is Luton, which is run by the South Bedfordshire CAMRA branch. Despite the hectic nature of life I had a free […]
The Curfew Club and a cheeky pint
The Curfew Club is a monthly musical gathering in a small and intimate setting showcasing some of the local talent, especially those with acoustic or Americana bent. The session was first bought to my attention while reading The Bedford Clanger, a magazine highlighting all the cultural and art stuff going on in Bedford as well as […]
First walk of the new year
I know what your thinking. New year? But it’s February. That’s true. I just haven’t been for a walk so far until now. I had mentally been telling myself that I needed to get walking again. I have been lounging around at home doing very little and slowly the numbers on the scales are creeping […]
People of Staffordshire: Knot in your name
To everyone in Staffordshire, please take the time to real the article below and then get in touch with the Flag Institute and ask them to think again before including the Staffordshire county council coat of arms design to their register of county flags.
The session #108 – Snowed in
It’s been a while since I have done one of these beer blogging sessions. I intended to always join in but life gets in the way. Sorry guys. Never mind though, I’m back now and the first topic is “snowed in”. Being hosted by Jon Abernathy at The Brew Site and he asks us what […]
