Ok first beer and I’ve already gone ’off piste’ Leadmill Fluffer 4.8%. Whilst he may not have had the beer I know that Leadmill was something Simon drank frequently at the Old Oak Horsley Woodhouse ( on occasions with me, Loz and my dad) he probably also add it at the Stable Bar nr the pottery place. Watching the Tuts at Indietracks suurounded by steam trains and train paraphanalia.

Cheers Simon

Welcome Fin. Good to have you around. Enjoy the fest. I know you met up with Simon more than most with your Dad.

What time are you planning on doing the Bracia?

I think the Bracia will be end of the night, you’re not allowed to bring alcohol into the site, so it’ll be when we get back to the camper, don’t wait for me Ian I look forward to reading your review.

OK, so I have the rest of my second bottle of Jaipur, a bottle of Thornbridge Halcyon, an Orval from 2011 and a Bracia to go.

Looks like I’m talking to myself.

And Simon, of course.

Cheers Simon. You were right. The Jaipur at The Coach & Horses in Dronfield was spectacular.

Im here just not drinking.

Good to see Fin and looking forward to seeing him at Cropredy in a few weeks.

Simon was threatening to Come as ALice Cooper is playing.
In fact i think that was the last chat i had with simon was about him maybe coing to Cropredy. It would have been great

How are you Craig? What’s been good recently? Is Edinburgh still good for beers?

You’re not on your own, Craig is still about and I am checking in when I can from this small field. However need a refill so off to bar soon.
