Bank Holiday work-out


Spent most of yesterday (Monday) at my Mum's house near Farnham (Surrey) clearing out her garden shed (it's more like a garden "chalet") of boxes of "life-stuff" that had been accumulating for the last 30 years and when my Dad died in 2019 were kind of forgotten about. Anyway, some of it was really only fit for the dump and most of it was e-bay fodder but we did uncover some old gems that bought back floods of memories, and will be reabsorbed into the family. It was back-breaking work, moving heavy items back and forth and loading up cars for runs to the council refuse centre etc. 

Anyway we finally finished around 6 pm and I decided that on the way home we should drop into a great little Farnham pub called "The Alfred Free House" for a pint to quench our thirst and a well earned sit-down to recharge the batteries. I snapped a shot of their beer list which had some banging craft beers, particularly note-worthy was the Verdant pale ale (hardly ever seen outside of London or Cornwall) and the Keller Pils from Bristol firm Lost and Grounded, one of the best lagers in the country at the moment IMO. It's great to see this kind of quality in a local pub, long may it continue!
