Day 38...



A brisk walk to a war memorial this morning - Potter Street is one of the villages that pre-dates our new town and has now merged into it, we have driven past the memorial countless times but never actually visited before, so it was lovely to finally go and see it. Beautifully kept and cared for - and look carefully and you will see the nearby church in the background of this photo too.

The walk had to be brisk as we only had an hour before a delivery was due - brilliant service from 2 breweries we ordered beer from on Tuesday evening - Rudgate delivered first thing this morning, and Brass Castle followed shortly after 11am. Very impressed with both - and friends who ordered at the same time as us from Rudgate experienced the same timescales also, we’ll order from them again. The prices were excellent from both too - we don’t expect bargain basement when ordering direct, but both of these offer a fair price for a good product. (Brass Castle is also Vegan friendly and gluten free - neither things that we require but still fairly unusual in the world of beer so worth mentioning.

I shouldn’t let today pass without saying happy birthday to Captain - or in fact now honorary Colonel - Tom Moore - the gentlemen who set out to raise £1000 for the NHS charities together fund and accidentally raised over £30 million pounds. Today was his 100th birthday and it was a delight to see this inspirational chap given a flypast by the Battle Of Britain a memorial Flight first thing this morning - a great start to anyone’s day, in fairness!
