The Hartpury Heritage Trust, in Gloucestershire, has won CAMRA’s Pomona Award for playing a vital role in preserving the UK’s perry heritage beertoday.co.uk/2025/09/30/c... #perry #perrynews #perryaward @camraofficial.bsky.social

100% Vegetarian tonight, flatbread with garden glut Chilli, Guacamole, Vietnamese Coriander Salsa & Greek Yoghurt. Recommended. 🌱

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want to hear more of Reform UK’s bile and stupidity, but I do want to hear them challenged, frequently.

I say ‘only’, I did get a nice bit of German Keramik, timely as I’m hoping to over-winter the Chilli plants on the windowsill, and who wants to look at shite plastic pots all Winter…

Todays top* charity shop find, a set of Air BP Polker Dice, presumably given out as a freebie whilst pilots were filling up their Jumbos at the local BP garage… [*only]

On the Drovers now… #CrunchieTuesday #BSkyBeer

Kind of Ray to mention me in this interview, although I’m not sure heavy drinking sessions whilst grumbling about the proliferation of Kumquat and Conker ‘cider’ in all the pubs was much support 😂

The auld Bass is getting everywhere now… The best pint of’ that I’ve had in a good while at the Vaults in Uppingham. #BSkyBeer

Tipplin’ in that Oakham… @oakhamales.bsky.social JHB at the Lord Nelson.

PJ Harvey on the Planet…

An essential Sandy Denny? I’d say so… Sandy Denny and The Strawbs - All Our Own Work (Hallmark, 1973) #Vinyl #FolkSky

These Verve VSP releases are a great way of adding often expensive 50’s originals to your collection, albeit without the nice sleeves. Here we have the albums ‘Duets’ and ‘Sonny Side Up’. Great soloing all round needless to say. Dizzy Gillespie - With Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt #Jazz #Vinyl

Blimey... They don't half scrape the barrel (cider barrel obvs!) for "news stories" these days... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Painted altarpiece in the chapel of St. Edmund the Martyr, Tewkesbury Abbey, featuring the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ. This has been referred to as Flemish work of the 15th century. #PentaptychTuesday

You know how we get Flying Ant days… #WhiteflyDay

Rosemary Salt has been one of the great successes in the kitchen. Our Rosemary plant needs regular heavy reduction lest it turn into a tree, and a sprinkle of Rosemary Salt goes with so many things…🌱

Gourd Lord! 😳

Making & Baking Day (supplementary), accompanied by my favourite from Geir Jenssen, the slightly jazzy one. Biosphere - Dropsonde (Touch, 2006) #Electronica #Ambient

Russia's attempt to put one of its puppets into power in Moldova has failed. We must ensure it experiences the same failure in the UK.

Painting ‘Madonna del Passeggio’ in the Lady Chapel of Tewkesbury Abbey, after an original by Raphael in the Scottish National Gallery. #MadonnaMonday

Corby and Kettering sheets on this 1938 release, lots of Ironstone workings/lines etc.

Northampton Road will be closed on Tuesday 30 September while work takes place at the park, according to highways authority Leicestershire County Council.

Garden Patrol: Moderate Medlar Crop, Stoke Red cider apples hanging on, Sunflowers still going strongish, Green Manure germination. 🌱 #MedlarMonday

Morning! #MistyMonday

“You draw far too much attention to yourself Mister 'USA'!" #StriderCup

7pm TODAY on @BBCFOUR Walking With... Jim Moir Comic Jim Moir explores a fascinating corner of the #Kent coast as he walks down to #Dungeness. Along the way he meets locals, explores military ruins and rides a steam train.

The look, of love, is in, their eyes…

(recorded) Game On! Rugby with a taste of the Forest of Dean from Clays’ Cross Dry Cider. Sherbetty, juicy fruity, decently dry, bit of astringent tannin in the finish. Reminds me a bit of the old Tillington Hills cider, very nice. #Cider

The Devon Tradition with the tea this morning. #Vinyl

Tewkesbury Abbey #CeilingsOnSunday

#SaturdayMono #TransmissionTowerTuesday

The big family meet-up leaves just enough time for a homeward bound comfort break… DEYA DEYA something at the Beerhouse, Market Harborough. #BSkyBeer

Kinda quiet today, but it’s usually like that on Saturdays, as people get work done. Tomorrow will be warmer and a lot busier. But we got a fair bit of early traffic, the serious people with boxes and boxes of fruit to ID.

I wonder why BBC News have chosen to use such a strange photo full of blanked out faces to head this feature when they could so easily have used one of the very, very many of Gill with his cheerleader Nigel Farage. Couldn’t be yet another example of BBC News bias could it 🤔

There are instruments I generally don’t want to hear on a jazz recording. Banjo of course, even Clarinet and Trombone can be problematic. Paul Horn of ‘Inside’ fame is all over this album on Flute, too much Flute on an album which bizarrely features little of Chico Hamilton’s drums… #Vinyl #Jazz

A day of heavy Cake and Bunnage, so taking the precaution of a proper healthy breakfast.

Flag shaggers have been at it in the garden. Pricks.

Ta-da! Highly sceptical me, very impressed with the result, last of the Scarlett Crofton apples going in later… there is of course a cream for that. 🌱

“Think back to your childhood. Do you remember when the anxiety started?"

Does anyone know where I can safely dispose of our LÄMPLIG Chopping board? 😱

Ben Webster, very much ‘at ease’ with a Dutch rhythm section in the late 60’s. Rather optimistically described as ‘Bop’ on discogs, more laid back Ballads, Blues and gentle Swing as befitting a man in the twilight of his stellar career. Ben Webster - At Ease (Ember, 1969) #Vinyl #Jazz

With family arriving imminently from Ireland, ‘Tea’ is required, meaning I need to fill this, ideally with something entirely lacking in Gluten 😳. “Could this be Mark’s biggest baking challenge yet?”… Err… yes! #BakeOrf

Very much looking forward to the watching the Strider Cup…

All the ID I need…

S’turned out nice… Samaritans Beer Festival, Oadby.

Yoiks! #BSkyBeer
