I’ve got a Leo Sayer in Folkestone tomorrow.
I’m not that keen on Monday crawls because a lot of pubs areshut, but tomorrow is a free day so I will take advantage.

Funny you should say that, as I'll probably be heading to the Yorkshire Food & Drink Show, the final part of the Leeds Food Festival, this weekend.

I've got a couple of mates coming from Bedfordshire on Saturday to do my Sheffield pub crawl by bus (not the usual suspects). Extraordinarily, the cost of the all day tram and bus ticket has gone down from £4.90 when I devised this crawl just over a year ago: it's now just £4.30.
In the same time, the final pub on the crawl has gone from being not among the usual suspects to being Sheffield pub of the year.
Come On You Hatters!
We've got a stall at Biddenden Vineyards' Best of Produced in Kent Food Fair in aid of the Air Ambulance. As well as wine and cider, both Nelson and my beloved Old Dairy will be there.

I'm off to Cardiff for a stag do this weekend and if that doesn't kill me, I'll be spending Monday and Tuesday revisiting my old student haunts in Swansea.
Off for a trawl round Castleford this Saturday so the The Junction and the legendary Tetley Dave's are top of my list.
The weekend after is some CAMRA thing on Teesside then on the 21st down to Brum to reacquaint myself with Digbeth and the city centre.
