A little painting of one of @beerbear21.bsky.social 's recent posts. Samuel and Arpad enjoying the Beer Festival in the only way they know!

A small painting of a photo from Samuel and Arpad enjoying the Beer Fedtival. Arpad is balancing his feet on Samuel's head whilst he planks across to a glass of beer to drink from it whilst horizontal. Quite an achievement.

Well lunch didn't get much better than breakfast so we headed for Brew Beer Bar with Joey. I wanted to call it Bear Beer Bar for old times sake. Now we head off to Riga to see what is on offer there.

Joey, our small Estonian bear looks dismayed at the toastie offering at the Irish bar in Tallinn.

Joey, our Estonian bear is between a glass of pineapple juice and a glass of Tanker beer. Which will he choose?

We visited the Joey Dunlop memorial site in Tallinn, Estonia. It is in beautiful woodland at the side of the road. A new Information board has been installed since 2025 representing 25 years since he tragically lost his life here.

Me standing by the trees covered in tributes from fans, for the great man Joey Dunlop. Joey tragically lost his life here in a race in 2000.

We are in Helsinki and have found a beer called Karhu. It translates as 'The Bear' and is 4.6% Trying it now. It came in a nice bear glass as well. We are off to Estonia on Tuesday, any recommendations? @beerbear21.bsky.social

A lovely grey seal resting on the tide line. I love the way his skin folds make it look like he is smiling. I hope he is. I used a very long lens, so it looks closer than it was.

Our lovely churchyard. Sir Norman wisdom is buried in the newer section. It's a very peaceful place. This is the much older part. Some very interesting inscriptions on the graves.

Shows old part of #Bride Church and churchyard on a winters day.
