• Rode from Hackney to my Dad’s house just outside Bury St Edmunds on Saturday.

    Was supposed to be going with a mate but knee issues meant he had to hop in the the car & left me solo for the morning. It was 4 years to the day since we lost my Mum and spending a few hours with my thoughts on a perfect sunny day couldn’t have been nicer. Passed by a speciality beer shop in the ground floor of a house in the middle of nowhere at about 10am, screeched on the brakes and the owner opened up for me to have a look around and picked up a beer to stuff in my jersey for later. Stopped again at about half 11 in a field by Lavenham church to toast Mum, a friend that we lost in Afghanistan that we buried there & the mini ramp that we’d spent days on when I were a lad. 4 and a bit hours on my own that i feel like I’m going to remember

    You will, obviously, tell us where this was, no? :)

  • Bankside Biers in Wethersfield (http://www.banksidebeers.co.uk). Extremely friendly & the sole importer of a German brewery that I can’t remember the name of which looked to do a range of classic German styles. Picked up an Abbeydale NEIPA, a new brewery to me and really hit the spot
