Quite peculiar beer - does taste like sour raspberry waffles in liquid form. Whether that is desirable is up for debate.

Just had a beer that “is brewed for men who lead where others follow” and so on. So much guff. Some Belgian marketing executives presumably thought it sounded good. Kwaremont Pittig Blonde from De Brabandere. 4/10 will not be buying again.

Interesting anonymous note to get in our postbox. Needless to say, we have not been feeding the crows. I think I know who is, but realise that actually I’ve never seen them in the act.

Site of ancient fish traps. I think the rocks that are just visible are part of them, but not a lot can be seen at high tide, and the miserable weather did not encourage us to keep looking around.
