So much to discover @WhiskyExchange Cognac Show last week. History and heritage is so vital to this great drink and the stories behind the bottles add depth to them. Highlights included the Grosperrin 1924 Grande Champagne and the Prunier Horizon quaffed.wordpress.com/2025/03/10/the…

#BankHolidayBeers with a 6% ‘Cult of the Coconut’ stout from @BlacksBrewery. Coconut and chocolate on a toasty malty backbone. Lovely! 😊 Sláinte!🍻 @keefmullin @j_k357 @PaulOBrien10 @pcr123 @Sav70 @FiShoop @BADONICUS @craftbeersoflre @Imagicranium @DKenni @cedarflats @D_V_T_

Bank Holiday woofs ♥️

Having bloods taken this week, will feel better once that’s all sorted but apologies in advance for the big squeal. Much to the nurse’s disgust, I have to lie down so I don’t faint. They always remind me their 4-5 year olds are braver than me 😂

@keefmullin Looks lovely! G&T or something else? Really want a Gimlet now

Time for a gin said Keefy! 😋

@j_k357 @BrianVolkert @schwanke1965 @Slayer Disappointing, it sounded fabulous

@BrianVolkert @schwanke1965 @Slayer Belated cheers Brian, it had loadsa potential but it was a bit of an anticlimax as there was hardly any banana flavour in it

Kicking off Saturday with a #stouturday Banana bread imperil stout. The base stout is really nice but the banana flavours r very muted. The classic @Slayer seasons in the abyss soundtracking it

Election this week and not a single door knocker, no leafletting, just umpteen letters from Reform which don’t stress local issues. Would love to know how much they spent on postage for local elections. Wannabe councillors are being shockingly apathetic, it’s so unusual

@BrianVolkert @PaulOBrien10 @cb_phil @j_k357 @Sav70 @mjpm67 @BertSmedley @craftbeersoflre @Imagicranium @Bilcro @BADONICUS They look fab!

@PaulOBrien10 @cb_phil @j_k357 @Sav70 @mjpm67 @BertSmedley @craftbeersoflre @Imagicranium @Bilcro @BADONICUS Cheers Paul. Time for beef rib street tacos here

There is no more devastating an insult from a British person than the word "wow!"

@Hebrideanrefurb Fab new pet!

Had to chase this lad this morning- so I got a 2nd May dew splash instead

Time for some HDHC Cabbage Special Reserve to wash down that tomahawk.

Head feels crushed at the back, stabbed repeatedly on the left and Toby is scrabbling all over me for cuddles. Today is going to hurt! #Migraine
