Interesting reading Boak & Bailey’s recent post on their move from Cornwall (“Craft Central” to you and me) to the cask desert that is Bristol, and their anticipation at discovering their new local. I hope all goes well on both fronts. Our nearest pub, in Waterbeach, is rather taken for granted, I’m sorry to say. That’s more… Continue reading PUNK ARRIVES IN WATERBEACH

WATERBEACH FOOTBALL CLUB BEER FEST
I blame Mrs RM. I was having a nice beer-free day before my trip to Glasgow tomorrow, but she insisted I came along to our village Football Club Beer Fest, ostensibly because she’d forgotten her purse but more because you’re expected to. Waterbeach (pop. 4,000) runs one of the biggest youth football tournaments in East… Continue reading WATERBEACH FOOTBALL CLUB BEER FEST
FIVE MILES FROM ANYWHERE, NO HURRY !
A rare postcard from home to break up the Hampshire monopoly of May. We’ve yet to take our campervan to exciting places like Wythenshawe or Sheerness (the year is still young), and the Five Miles from Anywhere may be the dullest overnighter possible from a Waterbeach base. It’s at Upware, a mile west of Wicken Fen,… Continue reading FIVE MILES FROM ANYWHERE, NO HURRY !

MILTON’S **** UP IN A BREWERY
“Did you enjoy your night staying in your own village” – “Yes” “And are you still going to slag my Facebook friends off” – “Yes” Mrs RM knows me too well. Some friends in Waterbeach had wanted to visit our own Milton Brewery* for a while, but needed a decent group size (25) to make… Continue reading MILTON’S **** UP IN A BREWERY
WATERBEACH SUN’S BEER FESTIVAL
It’s a rare day I stay at home, but I promised Mrs RM I’d go with her to our local pub’s Beer Festival, just to be unusually sociable. The Sun is the drinkers pub in a village of about 5,000, recently reduced by the closure of the RAF base. It’s the first pub I went… Continue reading WATERBEACH SUN’S BEER FESTIVAL
