#theViewFromMyPint is yet another lovely English beer garden. And it is another pint of beautifully clear, tasty cask ale.

Most of a pint of Ramsbury ale, sitting on a picnic table in a leafy pub garden, with people at another table in the background.

Accidental #coffeeneuring outing. At my second-favourite neighbourhood Jays bar to watch the start of game six of the #WorldSeries. (The first is happily entirely reserved.) I believe the #BlueJays can and will do it tonight. Okay, Blue Jays! Let’s Play Ball! 3 of 7. #coffeeneuring2025
