How odd. I am looking out of the window and the street is full of Swansea fans! In front of my eyes, on the internet - 'Swansea' is everywhere!
Yes. The ascent out of Newhaven warrants extra bubbles in the ale. Adrian will sort out a smuggler's tunnel I expect.
Yes good luck to the Swans this afternoon. I shall be heading to the tap of the Swansea Brewing Co. in time for the kick-off.




Brighton, Frank, is Plan A. Adrian has introduced a welcome complication, giving us plan A.1, aka The Newhaven Sharpener. We shall stay long enough to discharge our responsibilities to our host at The Hope, and then resume Plan A with plenty of time to spare. I'm on the 14:19 from Brighton, and will be handing out tickets and bike reservations Santa-Claud stylee to anyone who wants to join me...
