MinZaPint

Up in Harrogate earlier this week and to my delight found in the "Hales Bar" along with Lovely old fashioned pub and good beer, what more could you want?

Had a "Cultural Tour" in Fareham Hants yesterday and amongst other fine beers tried these and this which was served straight out of the barrel at the Delme Arms, highly recommended and if you'll excuse the terrible picture one of 5 beers available, with another settling. Cheers!

My definition of an old car is pre war! (39-45) but every so often "Rule One" comes into play, particularly cars from my teens, saw this in the car park next to the Legion when I went for my pre lunch pint yesterday. 1960 Buick Invicta 7 litres worth! I'm not really a "Yank tank" fan but this was in such beautiful condition.

Wondered whether to have the lawn aerated earlier this year but now have a pair of Woodies doing it for me, they're nesting 3 doors away but our lawn seems to be the best for bugs! walking past the neighbours drive you can hear the chicks chirping for food!

The Devon Belle was looking good when we were there on the 2nd May and the interior was very smart and admired by her Ladyship! very enjoyable trip and well worth the extra to travel in her.

but there's only one "Brigitte" !

I can't believe I missed this one off my post "cars at the pub" 8/5/18 but here it is a 1914 Darracq 3.2L I didn't notice the suns reflection at the time!

That looks very nice, so now you've got the hang of posting pics let's see a couple more!

Well yesterday was the first meet of the year at the pub and on show as well as a lot of the regulars were these. Bentley Special 1951 Chevrolet GMC 1932 Dodge Coronet 1958 Would you believe the owner hillclimbs this car! Lagonda 5.5L 1938 The power unit Humber 350 1928 Sunbeam 1.7L 1925 Sunbeam Talbot 1938 Talbot AV105 1934 and to finish a 1970 Lotus Elan

Seen outside my club at lunchtime the Legion that is! ain't she a beauty

Just back from a trip to Devon for a run on the Dartmouth Steam Railway & the South Devon. Of course I had to try some local brews, all nice. Did the rail & river and tried this on the boat as a morning refresher from Red Rock Teignmouth. Then in Dartmouth @ "The Crab & Bucket" on to Kingswear "The Steam Packet" Train back to Paignton & bus to Torquay where by the harbour & also available in bottles at our digs. Following day of to Buckfastleigh (Driving this time so no Beer) However dry as an an old wash leather I made a stop @ Fenny Bridges "The Greyhound" where we used to stop with my father in law on our way back from sailing trips. I tried the Hanlons and then back to Dorset, all tasty beers that I had not tried before.

Had a nice little drink on Wednesday along with 9 mates one of our 1/4ly "Cultural Tours" Bus and train of course! off to Wareham, Kings Arms, The Red Lion, Con Club, Horse & Groom (was a grot pub but now run by Father & son, 6 real ales, Proper Job for me!) round to The Quay, The Duke of Wellington and back to the Kings Arms. Good beer all the way round, all those watering holes recommended!

I'm keen to see how you get on with this as I would like a Willow on my layout. Apart from the CAD one shown earlier every one I've seen has had too much leaf on the branches. For reference this is the one in my garden

Well how about a really old coach, found this while looking for my Dad's old watch, that's him wearing the big white cap stood at the back near the middle, no idea of the date but he was born in 1895 and looks fairly young (you're right I was an afterthought!) Any one have any idea of the make of vehicle?

These 2 appeared this morning and flew off before I could get my camera, they've just come back for supper! I must clean that feeder! the incessant rain makes it look worse as their discards are sticking to the base.

Seen outside the pub at lunchtime, sorry about the pic quality, taken with my cheapo phone camera. beautifully restored.

Reference Jenson Interceptors, how about this beauty!

The car in the picture is a 1932 Vauxhall Cadet 2192cc

Had a little thaw this afternoon, then it got cold again, made our shed look quite nice! I. Cycle

Well the weathers made a right mess of one of our Camellias getting creative with leftovers from the freezer, Turkey chilli tonight with a nice bottle of wine.

At my local 'spoons @ 5% not what I would generally class as a session ale but very quaffable, only had 3 as I was going out in the evening! sorry about picture quality but taken with my phone (free with a £5 a month package, who you calling a cheapskate?)

Well following on from above posts I offer one apple and one Fieldfare Snow in Poole area, I've contacted the emergency services!

Sounds interesting but Bryanston is in Blandford Forum DORSET. Wish you every success with your search

Are we soon to hear the patter of tiny feet Inspection and hole enlargement! This is a new box only put up last week! Ah we're in! Wonderful time of year, just hope it doesn't give her ladyship ideas, with my back!

Just back from a trip to South Africa, amongst a lot of nice beers this was my favourite
