Midsummer sunset didn’t disappoint…

“Campbells Meatballs, the meat they’re sure to eeeeat”* [*No Broiler Chicken Scrotums in these Meatballs]

We don’t really get rate Butterfly round here, but we’ve got tons of Lavender so we get lots of Butterflies…

Pub 3176, Sandford Park Ale House, Cheltenham. Now we're cooking (literally), good pub! Exciting warren of rooms, bar billiards etc. Defined Spine wants a shower ASAP. Citra drinks good but could be even better if 4 cask instead of 8? Old lady has 'seen me round town'

5 minutes early I know, but it’s Beer O’Clock Welland Valley Standard Time… #BSkyBeer

‘Never Leave The Light’ by Said Kinos, Colton Street, Leicester. #StreetArtSaturday

Wascally Wobin has a tendency to fly into the kitchen if given half a chance and it thinks there’s scrattle about. They’re a lot better at finding their way out than most though… #FeatheredFriday

Calling Beer O’Clock! #BSkyBeer

We're looking for a new On Trade Sales Executive to join us. Could you be part of the next chapter of Oakham Ales?

The C19th Octagonal Font in St Mary the Virgin, Lower Benefield nr Oundle. #FontsOnFriday

Todays top find is this watercolour by Evelyn Clare, with accompanying rhyme on the back. This could be a sketch for the book The Magic Ball (1910), a children’s book that was written by and illustrated by Clare. #FolkyFriday #WatercolourWednesday

A day for the auld Acoustic Landlady at the Railway in Ketton.

Shady Lunch at the Blonde Beet in Stamford. Only one pale linen shirt was hurt in the eating of this 🙄

A Drum & Monkey ‘Raw, Hazy Pale Ale’ 5.3% at the Blonde Beet Stamford. #BSkyBeer

What happens when your whole thinking around life and death is challenged… Dr. Futurity - Philip K Dick (1960) Methuen Paperback, reprint 1979, cover art by Chris Moore #BookologyThursday #SciFiSaturday

Hidden gems of Leicester, the grade II listed Guild Hall, Colton Street (not to be confused with The Guildhall). Currently a the Shirdi Sai Baba Hindu Temple, once memorably used for a Leicester CAMRA Beer Festival. #ADoorableThursday

Well that’s Tea sorted. Beer supplied by Bskers Dozen at the Kings Head Stamford. #TruckleThursday

I’ve had to reinstall my WhatsApp and lost my contacts so if folk could send me a 👋 that would be appreciated.

Back up to the full 12 inches with some cool West Coast Jazz. UK reissue of The Jimmy Giufffre 3. Jim Hall’s Guitar is the star of the show for me. The Jimmy Giuffre Trio – The Train and the River (Atlantic, 1967 UK reissue) #Jazz #Vinyl

#TenInchTuesday is long gone of course, but this disc fell out when rummaging so… Side two is the pick here, nice slow blues for Serenade to Nicole’s Mink Coat. Too much showy Hamp’ stuff elsewhere, and a drum solo ffs 😳 Lionel Hampton And His All Stars – The Hamp In Paris - Volume 2 #Jazz #Vinyl

…and yet apparently horrified when it’s a Muslim death cult. Wrong kind of apocalypse I guess…

Stamford Road, Kettering Town #Thursgate

Hot Dogs 🥵…

One for the road in Aylestone.
