On the way home from this latest London trip it dawned on me that I was last up there a mere four weeks ago... And I'll be going back again in about another six weeks time. I really think for next year I'll need to get a cheaper hobby! 😁

Not sure if any of my #Devon followers know Tim from his La Cantina street food van and more recently from his amazing smokehouse food at BFK@Hanlons Brewery? But anyway, him and his family are going through a very difficult time at the moment, so if anyone has a few quid to spare, the link's here

#TrainTreats Been wanting to try these for ages and they did not disappoint. 😋 🍋 There's one left if anyone wants it? Quick tho, in case I cave and eat them both! 😁

Behold my underground bunker bed from last night... Just to be clear tho, the hotel is all underground, but not in a bunker, and not in *the* underground. Sadly. 😁

An older chap (70 if he was a day) just pulled up outside my house on this cool scooter... He got off, and then just stood there in his parka having a smoke, donned his helmet again, and off he went. It was obviously just a fag break pit stop. But, it made me wonder where he was headed. 🤔

Saw this old advert for Kunzle Showboat cakes. Made me recall us getting VERY excited as kids if mum came home with a box of Lyons Showboats* I mean, as a child, a cake that came in a chocolate shell was like winning the lottery! 😁 *turns out Lyons took over Kunzle and made the cakes into the 70s.

Bloody hell, this piece is so well written that I've got something in my eye. Again. Mostly because of Neil and Nick. Again. But, also for the general summation of this extraordinary piece of televisual viewing. #7Up #70Up

I know it's late in his career but I'd like to see Tom Jones release a follow-up song called 'It IS Unusual', which focuses on rare but documented phenomena like Halley's Comet.

I'm watching a thing about online "romance" scammers, and I know that I'm more cynical than most anyway, but I will NEVER understand those women who give thousands and thousands of pounds to a man that they've never even met! 🤯

This is one of my favourite beers from Exeter Brewery, and it's so good that I even forgive them for the Americanism based pun! 😁 They describe it as having a "warm malts and berries" flavour and they're not wrong. 👍🍺 #BskyBeer

I like the caption “the final five”, as if the toys had to fight it out in some dystopian Hunger Games scenario and Hamble was horribly slaughtered.

Reader, Sarah was not in fact hallucinating. And this time next week, I'll be sat in the most expensive theatre seat I've ever sat in, and I've sat in a lot!! But, I've wanted to see this show for years and wasn't going to miss the opportunity to see it with the man himself. #Sting #TheLastShip

Today is #HobbitDay because Bilbo and Frodo Baggins were both born on September 22nd. Normally we'd shire a hobbit pun or two but it might just feel like a tolkien gesture and we don't want to embarrass our elves. Anyway it's a good day to come and boromir #Tolkien books. 📚

Not gonna lie, when I had my first sip of this I thought "nah, that's not for me" it is very floral and perfumey... But, after subsequent sips, I am confident that I will at least finish it. Hey ho, we can't win 'em all! 🍺 #BskyBeer
