Having just got back from York we're off to Fleetwood for the beer festival on Saturday (it's a hard life).

Hoping to meet up with gillhalfpint there.

We'll also be at Harrogate the following Saturday as I believe will Gill. Anybody else going?

Well as it's only down the road and the bus stops right outside I suppose I ought to go to Harrogate, do you think there will be any ale left by Saturday?

I believe there usually is on Saturday afternoon. I wouldn't try it on the evening though.

There's always Hales and the Winter Garden nearby and it's not far to the Old Bell if the festival runs out.

We're eating in the restaurant upstairs at the Old Bell on Friday night. It's always been good.

Well we're back from Fleetwood and my liver is saying "Thanks for the rest" after a night off the beer last night.

We "came of age" at Fleetwood as this was our 21st consecutive year at the beer festival.

We arrived about 12:45 and met up with gillhalfpint as planned (nice lady). Gill had already been to the festival on the Friday and had managed to get through 15 halves. I suspect a similar amount were collected on the Saturday.

I managed to get through a dozen halves before we headed off for something to eat and a pub crawl round Fleetwood.

Wandered back to the hotel at midnight with a silly smile on and went out like a light for 8 hours. A good day. :nishelypished:

No more beer festivals until Saturday now :(
