Two more pubs to finish Cardiff before I get to Newport. Here’s that epic seven pub crawl in full (given I was on halves and poured two of them away I think I may have been more sober at the end than when I started). Yes, Bing Maps says 2:19 hours but I must have… Continue reading CHANGES

WEST NORWOOD (MAKES ME WANNA HOLLER)
More Marvin Gaye, more nearly gentrified London, if West Norwood can be called that. I took the train from Hampton Wick to Tulse Hill via Wimbledon and strolled down the A215, which is a bit like strolling out from Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter into Smethwick. I couldn’t get my bearings at all. Where is this place… Continue reading WEST NORWOOD (MAKES ME WANNA HOLLER)
DOGS & UNRULY BEARDS WELCOME

Never mind the pubs, it’s a great town for the walker. Just look at those contours above. Good… Continue reading DOVER CHILDREN INTRODUCED TO JOYS OF PICKLED EGGS
MICRO MANNERS IN DUFFIELD

It was raining cats and ducks as we arrived at the station of one of southern Derbyshire’s poshest villages. The Amber Valley would have near the top of my list for a predicted boom… Continue reading MICRO MANNERS IN DUFFIELD
OVER THE WALL TO HUMSHAUGH
Apart from visiting all the current Beer Guide entries, I’d like to be able to place on the map any UK village you care to mention. I’d never heard of Humshaugh. Sounds northern though, doesn’t it ? It’s very smart, the sort of village that Essex hides away from the world but Surrey sticks… Continue reading OVER THE WALL TO HUMSHAUGH
