Waylands Brewery is now in Cranborne where "The Sixpenny Tap" is proving very popular, highly quaffable ales. My favourite Dorset brewery is Palmers of Bridport and I was able to enjoy while at an evening wedding reception at Athelhampton, a few pints helped the evening go very pleasantly and with the current weather we were in the garden until 9.30ish !

On a little tour starting in Cosham and heading up Portsdown Hill to the "Churchillian" for a couple before proceeding along the ridge to the "George" lovely pub where we greeted with this selection from which I chose "Goodens Gold" 2nd from the right, from the "Flower Pots" at Cheriton both pub and beer highly recommended! . Walked back down into Cosham for a couple more before hopping onto the train home.

On tap at the "Goat and Tricycle" this week very quaffable!

Every month in the summer a local pub hosts a Classic Car & Bike night, thought you might like to see some pics First a lovely Triumph ridden by a charming lady whose Beau gallantly rode the bantam you can see behind A splendid Hillman Aero Minx A Riley Falcon from 1934 For the smarter set this Bentley drophead coupe A Lagonda convertible Billed as a Quantum special, no idea of it's parentage but it looks good! One of 3 Brough Superiors! Another one And the other one, aficionados will note that this is a special, the owners brother bought it for £50 in the 50's wrecked it and sold it to him for £30! he rebuilt it with the help of an aircraft engineer hence the "homer" dural parts! Another Bentley A convertible this time An Alvis, I've always had a soft spot for this marque, used to have a TA 14, A brace of Morgans the early and later versions An Austin 7 Swallow A MG TF and an Austin 7 special a 1934 SUNBEAM SPEED 20 A Lagonda Rapier A very sporty looking Lagonda Another Riley Falcon A beautiful Austin-Healey 100/4 A fairly rare Hupmobile In my late teens I really fancied one of these a JAP engine Morgan An overall view of the main field A cute Fiat 500 holiday special all taking place in the grounds of a nice country pub, what more could you ask? Oh and how did we get there, well my old pal Terry and his wife (the couple I used to meet up with in India) picked me up It's a genuine Indian made Bajaj Tuc-Tuc

Very nice drop from a local brewery!

Very nice modelling from a steam era fan!

Well you've got me interested I look forward to following your progress.

Well I'm hooked, that's lovely modelling, please keep posting. You have created a very atmospheric layout.

The Goat and Tricycle in Bournemouth, highly recommended, if you're a CAMRA member it's worth showing your card! If you can't find a beer to suit your palate you aren't thirsty!

On a recent trip to Wales partly for a trip on the Vale of Rheidol (highly recommended, very scenic) where we sampled some very nice local beers All very pleasant session ales.
