A modest week ,with the highlight Bath's Barnstormer a most drinkable dark beer from a brewery rarely seen in my neck of the woods.A worthy BOTW from The Moletrap in Theydon Mount.

I did pop into a Lloyds no. 1 to escape the drizzle and while away half an hour before a parent/teacher meeting.Not wanting smell of drink (unlike the pupils ) I opted for a half of diet coke (£1.65 ) before noticing an array of handpumps with guests including Oakham's Bishops Farewell and Tera,and Exmoor Beast and Gold with not a single "available soon" clip anywhere
