Pleased you got some return. I gave up on these and Brewdog many years ago. I'm also vehemently against crowdfunding, especially in our sector. Too many people have been taken for a ride based on promises which haven't been kept.

Fantastic meal at Tom Lawson at The Psalter in Sheffield last night. We couldn't get booked in on a Thursday when they were offering 50% off their tasting menu price, so they honoured it for us on a Friday πŸ™

I knew that we had beer in various venues in Singapore, but not one quite so opulent.

At S$21.40 I opted for a S$32 cocktail instead 😬

We went to the absolutely stunning Atlas Bar in Singapore last night. More than 1,000 different gins on the menu, some dating back over 100 years, and also a particular beer I know quite well; @thornbridge.bsky.social Jaipur.

Ah, ok. Well, I don't run every step of the way, but it's still a run. There are some big climbs in that route!

Yes. Why do you doubt it?

My favourite 12 mile running route in the Peak District.

It's great, isn't it?! I know the concept isn't new, but suits their branding.

You definitely need to visit!

I'm on @itvcalendar tonight on ITV1 from 6pm, thanks to @kerriegosneyTV for inviting me to take part in her 'Seat With a View' series.

It's also available to watch online, and don't worry, it features the scenery more than me πŸ˜„

That's five half and half scarves I can spot just in this small section of the Man City supporters. The state of top flight football these days πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ #MCILIV

There is this one road, hidden away between Grindleford and Hathersage in the #PeakDistrict, that I have to visit at least once each autumn, to see the colours. It was looking beautiful at lunchtime today πŸ‚
