Pub of the Year 2024 has to be another National Inventory entry, the Low House (Kings Head) in Laxfield. Superb pedal in Suffolk in the summer heat, lovely old pub with historic features, fantastic ales straight from the cask and friendly staff. Superb all round.
2-0 up away in the North East and the oppo go down to ten men. typical of our luck that the game then gets abandoned in the second half due to rain. We never get any good luck I swear. Gutted for those that travelled

A look back into the BBC music archives for the best of Kim Wilde's appearances on a range of shows, including classic performances of such hits as Water on Glass and Rage to Love.

Fourth and final National Inventory pub this holiday, the 3* Half Moon Inn at Cheriton Fitzpaine. Nice 6X, friendly chat and lovely pub. Liked the glazed divide between bar and lounge especially.

Far too heavy for 13% climbs but got up somehow to Meeth and the start of the #TarkaTrail. Lovely trail so far but typically part is shut later. Bet the diversion has chevron climbs!

Cycling the Tarka Trail to Barnstaple. Horrid climbing before I even getting the start. Lovely scenery in North Devon.

Still can't believe I managed to climb up to Haytor and cycle part of Dartmoor. Breathtaking in a couple of ways. You can't go wrong with @jackthurston.bsky.social Lost Lanes books.

Grim day for a long drive. This part of the country has 6 National Inventory pubs (of which I've visited two). Plus a @jackthurston.bsky.social Lost Lanes cycle on my list if it ever stops raining. Also got a well known cycling/walking route to pedal. No more clues, find out the first pub tomorrow 🍺

Little gem to finish, the National Inventory Blue Ball in Grantchester. Friendly vibe, love the two small rooms and the unusual pub game (look it up). Top beer on too.

Really enjoying my selection of green hop beers. The one closest to what I'd expect is @ramsgatebrewery.bsky.social . No fuss, just lets those fresh Kent hops do their job. Splendid 🍻
