Beer :thumbup:

I discovered a little brewery who do a good Gluten Free range of beer without taking the piss with the pricing. They have a range of full fat beer also but for me its good as all you seem to get in the local shops is bloody lagers. Now i have a choice of Five or Six proper beers ranging in strength from low alcohol to 6%

Well chuffed

I've been tempting myself with one of those for a while now... but we already have more coffeee-making things in the kitchen than I can count, and we don't drink half as much coffee as we used to...


(that reminds me: must order some more Monsoon from Waveney Valley)

New pair of general walkin' about boots. Spotted them in the clearance section, limited run of boots and the only pair left just happened to be in my size.

Hand made in Lancashire...took me far far too long to get the pun in their name.

I didn't deliberately get my man/work bag in the background, but yeah my jeans are quite tight and my face quite beardy.

Discogs is brilliant, yeah I might be a bit late to the party on this.

The vinyl collection is growing nicely.
