Put on a new keg this evening. The blurb says it is a "go-to, have more than one, easy drinking IPA with floral and citrus aromas leading to a slightly sweet caramel malt character". Didn't quite catch that caramel malt character with the first pint - better have another one. Cheers.

22/1001 : Lazy And Negligent
A photograph from when we were living in Sheffield, some 40 years ago. Photoshop filters can easily create this type of look these days, but back then it was down to some lazy exposure and some negligent developing.
18 March 2024 : Concrete Curves
I spent a year in Birmingham - 1968/69 - and this is one of my photos from that time. What strikes me is the lengths the architects have gone to in order to achieve straight lines and sharp angles only to have the look compromised by the random curves of concrete staining.
21/1001 : Marks Up, Boars Head Down
I can't pretend that this is a good photo, but it is dripping with local nostalgia. It speaks of a time when policemen wore white raincoats and shoppers wore plastic rain hoods, when Marks was up town and the Boars Head was down below the market .... and the town hall was sooty!
17 March 2024 : Bikers
My parents, like so many young couples in the 1930s, were great motorbike enthusiasts. Motorbikes gave them the opportunity to discover the country in a way that had not been available to earlier generations. Here they are, proudly astride their Royal Enfield, in the late 1930s.
16 March 2024 : The Watchers
Some are watching the world fly by, all flashing lights and candy floss. Some are watching the ones who are watching, all woollen skirts and anoraks. Some are watching the photographers, all questions and no answers.
