My nearest GBG targets, if they’re even open, are some 3 hours away now. So I’ve been celebrating the return of pubs more locally, enjoying some unexpectedly great beer. Apart from my own Waterbeach local, the nearest pubs to home are in Milton a mile down the A10. It’s a dull mile, though you can… Continue reading MILTON – ALL GOOD AT ELGOOD’S

The auction rooms were actually a real disappointment, but we had a great time exploring the majesty of the Fens. We took… Continue reading WISBECH & A FENLAND BEER DESERT
