A traveller on this rock while it spins around the Sun. No expert in Photography, Nintendo or the bands Rush and Marillion. But they make me happy. Oh, also, Nazi & MAGA hater.
Hey @marillion.com

YouTube badges seem to be rewarding me....
For something that I already regard as rewarding.
Cheers.

So lucky to get this image...
Oh the crowds!
We went back at 5am the next day to actually enjoy the serenity.

Elon & Trump do not directly affect me...yet.

I don't live in the USA.

But they will
FUCK. THE. WORLD.

My values are more important than staying as a tiny speck on Twitter/X.

To stay (even silent) can be seen as agreement.

Values are not hobbies.
MY values are not hobbies.

Bye bye Twitter!

Nothing like truly getting away from it all for a few days. Agnes Waters and the town of 1770.

But, still online....
So, you know...
Not really getting away..

This was a lovely surprise. I'm not a huge fan of Barleywine beers... Always a hit or miss situation. But this Hawkers Black Barleywine was a treat. 10.8% (soooo, just above a light beer) lush and full of character.

Ok...
With what felt like 1000 steps on steep stairs to get there. Just go and soak in the beauty when you arrive.

(I went morning, evening, morning because it's soooo beautiful.)

Ooooooh yeah!

"Dreamception" 17.1%
Double barrel aged stout from The Bruery.

Aged twice in brandy barrels with coconuts, hazelnuts, macadamias, marshmallows & vanilla beans.

Delicious! Each sip is a joy. Flavors change as it sits on the tongue.

A truly wonderful brew.

.........

I luuuurve a good, strong stout beer.

You CANNOT go wrong with anything from Bottle Logic Brewing.

This beauty...
"Pistachio Ice Cream Stout" 12.8% is a boozy brew that is delightful at every sip.

This is my Saturday afternoon pleasure.

Ok ..

My first post here ....

Should really be...

About me I guess.

A watcher,
A dabbler,
A comment dropper.

Getting tired of watching the World turn so fucking toxic and selfish.

We can do better.
Cheers.
