West Beers : Every Thursday @ The Lamb Brewery, W4 4PH

At the moment they're soft as they've been soaking to extract the sugars. When I have used them to make a homemade granola I bake them to get them crunchy again, but I think they'd work as is in muesli. I'll bring you a kg and if it doesn't work out, you can throw them into your compost (that's what I would have to do most likely with some of them anyways!)

Thanks.
See you this evening.

I rode past the Pear Tree recently. Has been so long I hadn't realised it was coming up til I saw it.

Fond memories of West Beers there, good times.

Currently making a toothsome addition to morning muesli.

Fond memories of West Beers there, good times.

Yes, very civilized pub and excellent Scotch eggs. It must be 10 years since we were there?

Different generations of Wests.
(Don't even know where this Pear Tree is).

Yes, good pub. Why did they not want us there any more again?

Oh, the young whippersnappers. :)

I don't know, I missed a week, and suddenly we were off on our travels again (Raven?)

As an arriviste dilletante I can only aspire to the credibility of the OG Westies.

Wow, Wednesday already!

This week?

Still on Kentish, nursing and farming duties. If any of you are riding in the North Downs/Sevenoaks/Westerham areas let me know as we are happy to do an impromptu tea/coffee and cake/snack thing. You could even get a farm tour and, on a good day, I might join you for a few miles.

Mrs NLL is recovering from a broken collarbone so can't join us riding but is always pleased to see us London folk.

^ Can vouch for quality of welcome,
both human & canine.

Insect-filled, (crickets and grass hoppers a-plenty), rough meadow and a stunning wild flower meadow.

Sadly out as I'm in Dorset

Truly West.

This week?
Looks like this trial of 'April in August' is moving through,
and Thursday evening should be balmy and dry.

Still in Kent so it will he at least a couple of weeks before I am able to join you at my local.

Thursday lunchtime bump.

We'll continue at The (Acton) Swan.

Last week the lack of daytime Sun and courtyard garden forced us inside for the final drink.
Similar temperature forecast for tomorrow, and currently some rain. Bring a jacket.

Sorry, can't do this week, my normally empty social calendar has just exploded

Extraordinary times sometimes require extraordinary responses.

This week Wests will be Wednesday!

Current forecast suggesting a warm, 18C , dry evening.

Yay!!!!! I'm hoping to be in town so looking forward to joining you.

It's late. It's a Friday. No cyclists to be seen.

^ I seem to remember trip to the Crabtree a few years ago.
@ffm, were you there?

This week?
As we leave this odd 'Autumn in August' it might even warm up by a couple of degrees.
19.30 at the Acton Swan?

I may have gotten REALLY drunk and fallen over the weekend, brusing my ribs, bashing up toe and hurting my knee ... So sadly I'm out. What is ChainBreaker without an injury...
