Yesterday was my Bass day in Falmouth. I needed a Bass day, having just worked out where my pictures on my early posts here have gone (I’d deleted them). Good job Mrs RM is an IT expert. Perhaps I can get my youngest son to increase storage space and put the photos back as his work… Continue reading TOP 100 PUBS – THE SEVEN STARS, FALMOUTH

CULLOMPTON
Of all the English counties, Devon is my least explored, and therefore has most Beer Guide pubs still to visit. It’s obviously a long hike from Cambridge, but so are Lancashire and Tyne and Wear, and I’ve seen most of them over the years. The lack of football teams is an issue; I’ve only been to… Continue reading CULLOMPTON
PENZANCE REDEEMED BY BASS

The Pineapple is one of the country’s most beautiful mid-Victorian… Continue reading (This Is) What We Call Progress

Now in her mid-80s, my Aunt is still very sharp, and had quite a bit to say about housing developments in southern Leighton Buzzard, which has usurped Dunstable as the main… Continue reading (BENEATH THE PLASTIC PALM TREES)
FLAT BASS
Just back from a couple of days visiting my sister who has just moved to Falmouth (more on that later). One of the many highlights were 2 marvellous pints of flat Bass, my first for many months. I have an unhealthy affection for Bass, based only on some wonderful pints at odd places and times,… Continue reading FLAT BASS
