The sooner he is gone, the better.

I've been avoiding the socials, because, well they rot your mind and put holes in your soul.
However, I do hope you are all rather wonderful.

Of all the pubs I know, or at least remember, then The Pembury Arms has nailed the brew pub ideal.
There is a naturalism to it that brewdog wishes it had. Punk doesn't scale, nor should it, but craft and care does.
Folk, it was always about folk.

50% of final energy use is for heat. Most of it is based on burning fossil fuels.
At the same time there is an abundance of heat in the water, ground and air, several times more than what we need.
Heat pumps can harvest, compress and transport that heat to where we need it.
Let’s use them!
