All that queuing and then someone jabs a needle in your arm! What is the world coming to.
Metro Seaside
Heather and I had been in York, but instead of heading south back towards life we headed north, to my home town of Newcastle! Continue reading

Mainly Trains
Having been to Hastings, and home long enough to see some music, Heather and I headed off into the world again. We were visiting old haunts, starting with good old York. Continue reading
Seaside Seaside
It’s summer, so after a trip to some , it was time for some proper seaside, and our normal journey to Hastings.
Riverside Seaside
Right, time for some catching up, beginning with a little trip to Southend with Heather, Faith, and Dylan to see another WAY member, Louise. It was like going to the seaside, but sort of not because it’s more on the river, but whatever!
Admiring A Bottom
A friend we’d only ever met online was appearing in an outdoor performance of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, playing a cross-gendered Bottom. So, in a first outing to any sort of event in a post Covid world, Heather, Faith and I made the journey to Polesden Lacey to see Emma Continue reading …
Advent Is Each Year
Advent comes around every year, so it’s time for that most wonderful of things, my advent calendar produced by the wonderful Heather Continue reading
An Historic Getaway
The world shutting down due to Covid has, for obvious reasons, somewhat curtailed this summer’s activities. Not a lot has been happening while this pandemic is brought more under control. We finally reached a point (at least for now) where restrictions were lifted enough, and Heather and I felt comfortable Continue reading …
Rochester Moon

A Little Pub Crawl
The 51 Bus Route And Beyond!
We have a little pub crawl planned for —and by little I mean a crawl of the local Micropubs. There are two within walking distance of home but, more importantly, there are quite a few scattered along the route of the number 51 bus, starting in Sidcup and ending in Welling (or vice versa). And then a few more fairly easily connected to that, giving eleven (!) in total. To help plan I made a map:
The list:
- Hopper’s Hut*
- Hackney Carriage*
- Halfway House
- The Hanger*
- The Long Pond
- The Broken Drum*
- The Bolthole
- The Door Hinge*
- The Kentish Belle
- Bird & Barrel
- The Penny Farthing
* The 51 bus route pubs
(On a map)
We won’t be attempting all eleven, just five or six. I may (drunkenly?) update how it went.
It Starts
Beginning with a Howling Hop’s House IPA in the Hopper’s Hut
Tanner’s Box O’ Frogs at the Hackney Carriage
Halfway House
