Happy New Year!


A miserable end to 2022, with rain and gale force winds the harbinger for the new year in Britain? I can't say anything other than 2022 was a miserable year, with the biggest major war in Europe beginning in February, and millions of refugees and thousands of deaths the result. Not to forget, economically, the return of high worldwide inflation.  Millions are having to survive without food, clean running water, light and heating, and not just in the developing world, but in Europe, because of the paranoid or megalomaniac designs of an individual. We thought the world had changed following 1945, at least in Europe, but not so, it appears.

And, despite my hope a year ago that we may return to some sort of normality and the defeat of Covid-19 before another year would be out, there are still millions in Britain and beyond suffering from the disease, indeed, a friend was ill with it earlier this week. Not great times indeed...

But I trust that things will improve in 2023, and I wish to share my hope for peace and true goodwill to ale drinkers, and everyone worldwide, fingers crossed...

Cheers!

That's a pain - Lockdown Mark 3


So it's happened, it looks like we won't be able to get to a pub anywhere in England for 4-6 weeks, though likely much longer, and probably not elsewhere either, I'm just thinking of all that ale that will be running down into the drains rather than into our gullets... 😢

Stay safe folks, and I'm halfway through a less depressing blog, look out for it... 👍

Oh yeh, Happy New Year!
