A piss up in a brewery
A couple of weekends ago was Big Dave's birthday. I headed up to Gloucester for the weekend and the first order of play was a trip to Prescott Brewery in Cheltenham. Prescott is a micro brewery which, we learned, means that they only supply beer to Cheltenham. This is sad as their beer was well good!
They showed us all their fancy brewing equipment (including vats of hot and cold liquer fnar fnar). They let us loose on their beer which we managed to pour all over the floor and after the tour, we sat in their office for hours drinking and chatting.
It was a fab afternoon and they even had a go trying on my sock that I had just finished. So it seems Dave can organise a piss up in a brewery. I fully reccommend Prescott Ales if you happen to be in Cheltenham.

Pancake Day!
It's pancake day! And what could be better than pancakes than pancakes with bacon? Yum yum!
Cook your bacon. It needs to be crispy!
Chop half of it up into little bits.
Mix up your batter (I did 8oz flour, 1pt milk and 2 eggs as we want some for pud too)
Make the first, requisite crap pancake
Next one, put bacon in the middle of the pan and add a ladle of batter and spread it out
Make a couple and top with more bacon. Add ketchup or maple syrup and enjoy.
