Morris Men

Yesterday at the Beer Festival they had some dancing by the Long Man Morris Men. They did a great version of Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick on the squeezebox and concertina.







Thus i shall be travelling back today with a food and drink visit in Tunbridge Wells.

Books Found

Yet more notebooks received. My bro gave me a Simpsons moleskin notebook yesterday at the beer festival, and i bought a crossword notebook for 69 pence from a charity shop in Eastbourne.


I also found some books cheap in various charity shops on my way down Friday.

Lunch in Tunbridge Wells

Halfway on the trip now. Just had a stonking large Sunday chicken  roast at The Opera House pub in Tunbridge Wells. Washed down with a pint of Long Man Brewery American Pale Ale (4.0 %ABV) and a Portobello Road Gin and Tonic. All paid for by one of my shopping companies!

My bro emailed a photo of me from the beer festival yesterday and which i have downloaded here.



At the time he must have took it (surreptitiously) we were watching the Morris Men.  Yep, i need a hair cut soon.

Just missed one bus so my next connecting bus is just after three so in the Bedford pub with a glass of Tonbridge Rustic Kentish Ale (4.0 % ,ABV).

Altercation

I may have to contact all three bus companies about the Explorer ticket and on which buses they are valid on. I had a minor altercation with an Arriva bus driver when i boarded the Maidstone bus in Tunbridge Wells, using the Brighton & Hove Discovery ticket , which replaced the former Explorer , and costs more.

Being the stubborn sod that i am, i said to the driver that i have not had a problem before, and sat down. Got to Maidstone and caught the Stagecoach bus to Teynham without a problem.

I do not think i will travel on a Sunday again. It just takes too long on a Sunday.It rather put a dampener on the preceding days.
