The lawn will recover

For my 42nd birthday my lovely wife planned a garden party. It started off as a small group that somehow escalated to over 30 before we all ended somewhere around 4.30 – wow – thats n ot bad for an old geezer eh? I even managed to inflict much of my indie pain on my guests!

I think my lawn hates me

The edge of our land!

Best thing about being on an island is you can get to the edge! – this is Llangrandog in West Wales near where my folks live – great sunny day (must have been the only place in the UK!)

New Tipples…

Im always up for trying new stuff – I came across these in our local Waitrose – intriguing design influenced my purchase (surprising that eh?).

1) Fraoch – Really old recipe from Scotland – it has a Heather fragrance – yes you read correct – its quite floral without being sickly like some rubbish fruit beers. This one is a pale ale and has a good sharp taste with a decent 5% to give it an edge – quite a lot of barley overtones but a good Sunday afternoon scoop.

2) Black Fox cider – not exactly for the faint hearted as it has a stonking 7.5% boot on it, very very tasty though – sharp and refreshing without tasting too strong – careful how quick you drink this one!
