During what could be our last week in the revelry that is Tier 2 for a while (details soon), we’re keeping the unsung pubs in business by eating out now the cupboards have been stripped of crisps quinoa. How about a non-GBG pub in Cambridge’s Newmarket Road ? Not many of those left, which is… Continue reading CATS IN THE CORNER HOUSE

LET’S GO WALK THE KITE
While I wait for the Tears at 11.30, here’s some pics from my Cambridge walk this morning while I waited for Mrs RM to complete her dental treatment. Did I ever tell you I left it 34 years between dental appointments (1979-2013) ? That was a mistake. Mrs RM’s dentist is on Newmarket Road, home… Continue reading LET’S GO WALK THE KITE
“Who’s your favourite revolutionary ?”
Between moving Matt’s tat into storage and then out to Ancoats I popped back on Wednesday to take my Dad for an X-Ray at Addenbrookes and my Aygo to Newmarket Road for its M.O.T. One of these days I’ll get those things mixed up, with disastrous consequences. With the Aygo at Cambridge Vehicle Services all… Continue reading “Who’s your favourite revolutionary ?”
THANKS RISHI, THANKS KIDS
Someone nameless sent me this. Shaming me for going to pubs during a pandemic, even though both the pubs and I are taking all precautions to avoid catching Covid. The world seems equally split between those cautiously re-entering the world and finding comfort in UK hospital deaths falling below 5 a day, and those staying… Continue reading THANKS RISHI, THANKS KIDS
BREWDOG’S BEAUTIFUL BROCCOLI
The campervan is getting me out and about as I knock off the required 399 runs ticks in GBG20. If I had a mechanical liver like BRAPA (369 pints in Surrey this week) I might even have finished the Guide before the 2021 edition emerges in, er, May 2023. But with our house on the… Continue reading BREWDOG’S BEAUTIFUL BROCCOLI
THE HAYMAKERS MAKES HAY IN THE SUN
If you’re following my travels from my list of The First 36 Pubs you’ll know that next up it’s another Cambridge favourite. You’ll find The Haymakers making regular appearances on this blog, which will present some issues when I get round to linking the posts to little pin on my new Blog Map. One of… Continue reading THE HAYMAKERS MAKES HAY IN THE SUN
ADNAMS IN A PLASTIC CUP. BETTER THAN ADNAMS IN AN ADNAMS GLASS.
Possibly my last takeaway pint before the big pub reopening on Saturday. You might have heard about that. Beer always tastes better in a straight glass, sat on bench seating, discussing pub life with someone called Paul, doesn’t it ? Well, yes, of course. But needs must, till Saturday. On my little trip to enjoy… Continue reading ADNAMS IN A PLASTIC CUP. BETTER THAN ADNAMS IN AN ADNAMS GLASS.
A SPECIAL DAY IN CAMBRIDGE
Only 5 more sleeps and I can return to a pub. I’m still a BIT nervous about pub interiors, and reports from US Mark’s home state (not your fault, Mark) don’t help confidence. 85 patrons of a Michigan restaurant and pub have contracted the coronavirus and health officials expect the number to rise. The restaurant… Continue reading A SPECIAL DAY IN CAMBRIDGE
COLD BLOODED IN CAMBRIDGE
On a whim, we decided to observe how Cambridge was observing Lockdown in Cambridge yesterday. To be honest, I got to the Barton junction on the M11 and couldn’t think of anywhere south I wanted to go, so figured the colleges were worth a look, now most of the pesky students have gone home. My… Continue reading COLD BLOODED IN CAMBRIDGE
DOWN TO THE RIVER CAM
My daily routine for the blog seems to be one post dredged up from the archives, one from the day’s exciting walk in Cambridgeshire. Yesterday’s excursion to Sheffield was one of the easiest drives I’ve had in many years, but I still felt exhausted last night. Inactivity is the real killer. Today Mrs RM sought… Continue reading DOWN TO THE RIVER CAM
