Beer in the garden after a weekend in Ludlow
Posted on | August 1, 2010 | No Comments
Just back from a fun weekend in Ludlow, having a beer in a pretty garden after a fairly long journey home.
Ludlow is a fantastic place if you’re into your food and drink, so many good local food suppliers and exquisite restaurants.
Also, this post has a purpose, I’m composing it via the WordPress app on my iPhone. The photo you can see was also taken in app, geotagged and everything (although since I have no mobile reception it’s not working right now).
More posts coming next week.
A view from my front door…

A summers evening in Minchinhampton, here we see two calves following their mother around the streets. In ‘Minch’, the cows are free to go wherever they fancy with only cattle grids to stop them. This explains why there is a load of cow muck around my regular parking space.

Those mentalists working for Burger King in Japan have unveiled the ‘3rd Anniversary Rodeo Whopper‘ burger, containing three beef patties, six onion rings, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayo, and American barbecue sauce.
Why can’t we have this in the UK?
A new place in Nailsworth to buy nice beer!

In October 2009, chain off licence Threshers went into administration and closed all stores over the UK. Thankfully, a few months ago, new off licence business ‘Nailsworth Wines and Spirits‘ opened up to fill the gap, taking over the old Threshers premises on Market Street, Nailsworth.
Nailsworth Wines & Spirits has since seemed to do very well since opening, and rightly so since they stock a massive range of rare, local, and organic beers and ciders. They also stock a wines suiting every pocket, plus a good range of spirits. A favourite of the locals are the local ciders which are sold by the container straight out of the barrel, meaning you can roughly get about 10 pints of local quality cider for about 50p a pint!
Another thing, Nailsworth Wines & Spirits have kept on some of the original staff members from the old Threshers store, who are always friendly and up for a chuckle.
Just wanted to pass my best wishes on to the off licence, it’s good to see small retailers doing well around the local area. I was getting very tired of having to buy alcohol from the local supermarkets where it is usually the same old stuff, and sometimes quite expensive.
