Today’s kitchen experiment: Lacto-fermented green beans. Results will be known in about a fortnight 🤔

Instead of the usual one 1¼ hrs it took us over 2½ hrs to drive to Bristol last night – delays leading up to the Brynglas Tunnel and an accident on the Severn Bridge 😔

But it was made worthwhile by fish and chips at The Hatchet Inn and my first visit to St. George's. An impressive venue.

After a birthday day of beach, beer and pizza will be finishing with cheese (Perl Wen and Perl Las) and wine. Then hot tub in the dark, hopefully with some clear and starry skies. Evening weather forecast looks good 😊 🌌
