HAD MONDAY AND TUESDAY OFF THIS WEEK. TO TAKE PART IN THE ANNUAL CHARLES FARAM HOP FARM AND WALK. (IT SEEMS CORINNA IS NOW ALSO THE MITHRIL ALES DRIVER, A POST WHICH SEEMS TO REQUIRE IN ADDITION TO FREE MEALS NOW ALSO INCORPORATES BED AND BREAKFAST, COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF FREE COSTA AND STARBUCKS AND WELL ANYTHING ELSE I AM TOLD THIS POSITION DEMANDS )
THE CAMRA BEER GUIDE 2010 WAS INVALUABLE, IN FINDING AN EXCELLENT 1590 COACHING INN (ALTHOUGH WE TRAVELLED IN A PEUGEOT PARTNER) CALLED THE TALBOT, IT WAS BASED IN LEDBURY JUST 5 MILES FROM THE HOP FARM. SINCE WE WERE GOIING TO BE DOWN THIS WAY TOOK ADVANTAGE TO COLLECT SOME PINS FROM CYPHER CO IN DROITWICH.
LEDBURY, A STUNNING HISTORICAL MARKET TOWN - IF EVER THIS WAY AGAIN WOULD DO MORE EXPLORING. HAD A GOOD MEAL IN THE TALBOT, FOLLOWED BY A PUB CRAWL ON THE MONDAY ENDING IN THE PRINCE OF WALES. ALTHOUGH A BIT CONFUSED BY A CONVERSATION BY A FRIENDLY BUT IMBIBED DRINKER. THEY TOLD ME THE SOCIAL TAKE MONEY OUT OF YOUR JOBS SEEKERS ALLOWANCE FOR DRUGS AND GUNS (THE BIG SOCIETY - IS THIS A NEW CONSERVATIVE POLICY?)
AFTER A GOOD NIGHTS REST, AND A BETTER BREAKFAST HEADED TO THE HOP FARM FOR FREE BEER AND LUNCH (IT'S A HARD LIFE) AND THE HIGHLIGHT A WALKING TOUR OF THE FARM.
WAS SORRY TO HEAD BACK YESTERDAY, AND EVEN SORRIER WE AGAIN HAD TO STOP OFF FOR LATTES - BUT FOUND A BARGAIN £1.00 SANDWICH AT M & S.
