12th May 2026 - And a day at home with Germans

Thought for the day :"Someone ripped the 5th month out of my calendar. I’m dismayed"

Dry 

So it seems that having Germans with us this year is a recipe for good weather. The Germans call it the "weather angels", those who bring good weather with them.

Certainly has been for Ute and Jens.

Off to bed early as they are having a 4am departure time.

Good Luck and Gute Reise!

Cheers

30th April 2026 - Getting the Tavern ready

Thought for the day :"Vehicles today have so many cool features. I put my car in reverse and it showed me a video of someone getting run over."

Dry 

a day of preparation for the Tavern Opening 

The stand for the kegs collapsed last event so some extra work was required to get it sturdy enough to hold the kegs 

Our lovely sign painted by our Belgian Friends is now on its own stand and support 

And the Beer garden is ready 

And late this evening the Lyme Bay delivery came in 

and the Temple of Doris is amazing

Doesn't really show but the contrast of the flame tree and laburnum is amazing

and blossom everywhere 

And ready for Saturday 

Cheers
