The dog took us to the pub again so I had a couple of pints of Sussex Best. This is what I’m starting with at home and it’s gorgeous, I even got my Belgian glass out for it 😉

It’s been an eventful day, culminating in my election as chair of the board of a professional body I’m part of. Whilst it’s a massive honour it’s going to bring a lot of extra work I‘m going to struggle to make time for.
Seems like a good time to open this 2018 California Zinfandel. It’s a little outside my normal price range. I don’t drink a lot of wine so I’m really considering increasing the normal price range to compensate!

I love California Zinfandel perhaps not in that price bracket, by far my favourite grape/wine.
I used to drink 2 or 3 £10 bottles of a wine a week. I’ve realised why I stopped drinking wine when after I picked up a couple of pricier bottles (voucher from a very happy patient went on 4 bottles instead of a case). Now I’m thinking one or two like this a month is a very acceptable outlay, and I’m still quids in. Drink yourself rich!
 
Travelled up the coast to the slightly larger town of himare today for some souvenir shopping and getting the kids out of the sun and picked up a couple of different beers.

This Amber ale, surprisingly good, malty with a nice bitter finish.

And this dark lager, which was really lovely, hints of coffee but nice and refreshing.
