After 6 weeks, Gipsy Hill Brewing finally managed to get a packet of beer to my doorstep but I had to refuse it because at least one of the cans inside had exploded and the flimsy packet was shopping wet. I think I now know why the previous 2 attempts to send it to me mysteriously ended up being returned to sender.

"Oh look, we've got an exploding beer, let's keep sending it out in flimsy packaging - one's bound to get through eventually...."

Upper management must be involved, to keep making a mistake over and again like that.

Back from foraging and sat down with a and some choccy.

Today's tally is half a wicker basket of walnuts, half a shopping bag full of apples and three walnut saplings.

That's pretty well much the last of the walnuts for this year, and likewise the eating apples. But I know where I can get medlars and cooking apples for storing - so that'll be the next port of call.

I do love this time of year.

The odd thing about it is that the London Beer Factory is only 100 yards away. When Gipsy Hill failed to deliver for the 2nd time, I put an order in with them out of spite. Order placed on Sunday afternoon, delivered Monday afternoon, case intact. Gipsy Hill is LBF's best advert.

I've got shares in a couple of craft breweries and I know a few people in the trade, and I could quite easily cause them a fair bit of bother. Which I will do if they don't refund me sharpish.

Too wet for a ride tonight so I've done some cleaning, made a large pot of vegetable soup and am now sitting down to watch the Raleigh video linked to in another thread. A bottle of Hop House 13 may be consumed.

Useless fact: There used to be a huge walnut orchard here in Kempston years ago. The local football team had a ground near it before they moved to their current one. Their nickname is The Walnut Boys.

I bet they were a hard team to crack.

Anyway i am going off for a soak in the bath,then an early night.But i just want to say i bought some ear phones today.Not bad £20 Sony zx310 seeing as i have so much music on the phone,my smaller ones have perished and my others jvc are too big and bright blue to be wearing while out.I wore them last week on the prom at Newbiggin and i did see a few smirks as some of the oldies were walking past me.Sony are very good better than both of the old ones which have now gone to meet their maker.

I've just found out that there's tin snail racing at Mallory Park on Sunday and spectators are allowed

Must remember to put out the non-recycling wheelie bin when I get home.

I have many a memory of covering the 2CV 24 hour races at Snetterton for Autosport back in the day... Le Mans, eat your heart out!!!
