Crap Weather For May

Ah I see... Train too much hassle?

Well the last one I saw had Higgins doing a long swim with a bullet in her arm, so there must be one or two left on catch up.

Just the one I think.

wet, windy and fairly miserable... not silly cold but you need a jacket

Had a lovely pub lunch with my dad and Del. He loves going out to eat, especially to quaint old country pubs, and so does Del. A very enjoyable day was had, and since around midday, the weather has been superb.

Had a lovely pint of this Shropshire pale ale with my meal (Three Tuns Cleric's Cure), from the oldest brewery in Britain: http://www.threetunsbrewery.co.uk/buy.htm



Gorgeous stuff!

Currently, weather-wise, the sun's splitting the skies and it's 23C! Happy days

I had a bottle of that a while back. It's a tasty drop. Used to drink a lot of India Pale back as a teenager.

Nice one, mate. It certainly was a tasty drop. If I hadn't been driving, I could've quite easily sat and enjoyed another couple of pints!

Pale Ale, like that, from small specialist local breweries, is what I like drinking in good pubs. If it's a boiling hot day though, I'll have pint of some European-type Pils, but not the run-of-the-mill shite like Stella.

This is my favourite place in Chester, for having a really wide selection of real ales and interesting Pils-type beers: https://www.telfordswarehousechester.com/the-bar/

Quality, eh?

The grub is outstanding, too - especially the steaks! You'd love it. Next time you visit, I'll take you

Looks good. Always were some really good pubs in Chester. Used to get the bus over there sometimes when I was at University. There was a Crosville ran right through the campus and went all the way to Chester. Took about an hour and half to get there but it only cost a quid. There was a proper American steak house place where the food came on wooden platters too. That was excellent. I bet it's closed down long ago though. Can't remember the name. It was there all through the 1970s and 1980s.

Sounds cool... Joints like that still exist, and indeed there are more bars and eateries in Chester now than ever.

It's a cool place to hang out in the evening or to go shopping. We socialise there much more than we do in Wrexham, which is too full of chavs. There are direct buses into Chester and back to Wrexham every 15 mins, right up until 8pm, then every half hour after that, so ideal if you want to have a few scoops...

Here's a good pic of the inside of Telford's - give an idea of the vibe: https://www.google.com/maps/uv?hl=en...oiowDXoECAsQBg

At night, it's quite dark and candlelit, and they also do some good live music. Mostly local bands, some of which have been rather good!

Not so good this morning here in Portsmouth but lovely this afternoon so I 'topped up' the tan a bit

[Macca]

We had a bit of sun this afternoon too. Although I was stuck in the office.
