If there is a foul wind a blowin' then drop by for a chat - about coconuts of anything else off topic.

Cutting aboot

#1

Post by Joeboy »

Well.lads, had a great great run down from NE Scotland via Lancaster, Tewkesbery and now in Woolacombe drinking cider. Had a good eyeful of wind and also solar farms on the way down. A bit of a change since I last walked this way back in 89. Good to see it all in place and mostly cranking. Tried to upload a few photos direct from phone memory (gallery) but to no avail? Galahad, any ideas? No biggy if not but would be good to...

Nice to see your thirst for cider is being sated.
Should you pass through Cambridge or the shires we have an excellent cider(y) & choice of cider / perry by small producer "simon's cider" of which my favourite will root me to a spot running it over my teeth with every sip for an entire evening, Gibson's Perry, bliss to my taste buds.

Enjoy your time
