Good morning cats and all. It’s blustery and hurling rain about but I’m trusting the weather app gods that the sun will return in a couple of hours in time for our trip up river. Meanwhile, am in need of a sausage sandwich to start the day.

Good morning Linda and all. We broke the drive west yesterday and stayed at a favourite inn. Here’s last nights mutton pie of dreams to set your weekend up right. Have a corker, all.

Good morning Dymvue and all. I’m back on the market today: it’s going to be a hot one. Meanwhile here’s a little video of a pair of goldcrests I saw flirting yesterday. Sound up for their love song. Who says romance is dead? HAGD everyone.

Good morning sjcp and all. We had a lovely lunch with the oldies yesterday. We’re up to Harrogate and back this weekend to visit wife’s mum’s grave so a lot of time will be spent on the A1. Here’s an incredibly rare fox and double great tit combo to ensure you have a corking weekend.

Good morning Cathy and all. I’m heading back to the market today. We had a cracking last week so hoping trade continues strongly. During yesterday’s park breakfast buffet u pulled off the tricky “fox/great tit combo” for the first time. Will try again today… HAGD all.

Good morning all. I’m looking forward to a quiet w/e with dinner at a favourite restaurant tomorrow. Meanwhile, the foxes have started to join me on my morning walk again. During the heat of the summer I think they spent all day in the cool of their dens. Have a corking weekend when you get to it.

Good morning Didi and all on this blustery morning. I think I’m starting to walk off the leg pain from this week’s beer yoga. I’ll keep up the movement today. Here’s my bird crew to wish you a corking weekend. Sound up for a loud chirrup from the female.

Good morning Cats and all. Yesterday’s Escher exhibition was a huge disappointment due to vast overselling of tickets by the gallery. Most of the pieces are pretty small and you could barely get near them. Here’s some action from the bird buffet to help ensure you have a corking weekend.

Look after your birds and they’ll look after you.

Good morning everyone. A blissful coolness has descended. I’m not sure what the fluffy, grey things in the sky are. V strange. We’re of to visit my Mum and step father today but first I’ll check in on the birds. HAGD all.

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

Good morning all. Bleeurgh. Not much kip last night and then woken up by the binmen. This sadly turned out not to be a metaphor for the Clacton election. I’m off to collect the car after its MOT and service yesterday but first I’ll go check in o the birds. Have a corking weekend when you get to it.

I’ve used up a load of leftovers (new potatoes, green beans, peas, chickpeas, salad onion, cucumber) to make a salad with a strong, mustardy lemon vinaigrette served with Iberico pork. Summery goodness!

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

Goood morning Hilary and all. Tomorrow’s entertainment includes a psychedelic multimedia installation at the Barbican called Other Worlds. Should be mind expanding! Here’s a short clip of squabbling robins to set your weekend up. Sound up for furious scolding! Have a corker when you get to it.

Good morning JayEsstoo and all. You have rain? Must feel like a small miracle. The Rake 20th birthday yesterday was great fun and very well attended by beer industry folk. A busy day on the market beckons and I have lots to sort out in the cellar. HAGD all. PS yes that is a blue beer bottom right

Good morning cif and all! Well the Quiet Riot live show yesterday was excellent not least for the unannounced appearance of Count Binface. Very funny and oddly inspiring. Today we’re heading off to a nursery/cafe for my mum’s birthday. Should be lovely. Have a corking weekend when you get to it.

Good morning SC and all. It’s going to be a hot couple of days on the market. I’m hoping it’ll be busy enough to keep us distracted. Meanwhile, here’s a short clip of a juvenile great tit braving the breakfast buffet for the first time. A new recruit! Have a glorious day all.

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

Good morning Cathy and all. We have a quiet weekend ahead, blissful. Lots of fresh air and maybe a pint in a good pub. Here’s a snippet of yesterday’s breakfast buffet action: sound up for hungry juvenile whingeing for food, who makes an appearance in the background. Have a corking weekend!

Good morning Cathy and all. A hot day on the market yesterday brought out the thirst in people… probably our best Tuesday of the year. Today will be hotter… but probably quieter. I’m out now to feed the birds. Form an orderly queue, please.

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Good morning cats and all. Woke to the gentle whispers of the bin men (translation: thunderous roaring of engine, bins clattering, shouting etc). They’re out early to dodge the heat. Don’t blame them. Here’s a little clip from this weeks park breakfast buffet to set up your weekend. Have a corker!

Good morning MDW and all. Two more days of this madness to get through before some sensible temperatures return. Here’s a little video of one of my breakfast buffet clients to help you start the day well. Have a corking weekend when you get to it

Good morning Didi and all. Epic storms last night. Could have done with more kip after the beer shop crew pub crawl yesterday. Am pleased to report that the mission was accomplished with no casualties. Our reward is four days of mid30s temps at the market. Pray for our chillers and fridges.

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

Good morning CPJ and all. Today I’m out for one of the occasional pub crawls with the lads from the market beer shop. We even have a poster for it. Hydration will be key. Wish me luck. Have a good Monday, all.

Good morning cats and all. The market buzzed happily yesterday so hoping for more of the same today. Meanwhile, my wife took some water for “her” crows to drink yesterday and they loved it.

Good morning Clare and all. I’m off to the market shortly and hoping for a busy day. Meanwhile, my wife, in a move new to medical science, seems to have hatched some ducklings.

Yale by Tartarus Brewing, cask west coast at @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social. Azacca, Centennial and Chinook. Lovely caramalt mouthful with big hit of bitterness on the finish. Decent.

Good morning Cathy and all. A glorious dinner was had last night which included this plate of milk fed lamb sweetbreads, broad beans and bleu de basque. A long walk will be required today to walk it off. Have a corking weekend when you get to it.

Good morning cats and all. To get your weekend off on the right foot, here’s some video of “my” great tits feeding their fledgelings yesterday. They’ve had three youngsters in this brood and they look knackered. Have a corking weekend when you get to it.

Don’t you hate it when someone hogs the breakfast buffet…

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

Good morning cats and all. Blissful rain is falling here, too. Love the smell of petrichor in the morning… I’m off out to see the birds before a day on the market. Here’s a hungry female great tit to set your day off on the right note.

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 21/05/2026

Good morning Neil and all, enjoy your trip to the big smoke, Neil. It’s an admin day today. Lots of small tasks to sort but I’m heading out first to feed the birds and see how their broods are doing.

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Good morning Ben and all. Looks like I’m in for a soggy day on the market but the tube strike has been cancelled so that will help. Here’s the action from our neighbours garden last night. This years fox cubs were giddy.

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

Good morning Hilary and all. It was a decent day on the market yesterday but I suspect the dull forecast will make for slower trade today… but first I’m off to feed the birds. This lovely lass joined me yesterday, I wonder if she’ll return today?

Steve Norledge @stevenorledge.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

Superlative @kernelbrewery.bsky.social brown ale on cask (and with sparkler) at the phenomenal @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social is making my afternoon complete. #bskybeer
