I was in North Kent.
Tonight's tipples.

Swiftly followed by the Kent Gold ale
Then on to another bottle of that 4 y/o Beaujolais Villages with a crystal crust under the cork.
A solid cap.
Needed filtering into the decanter.

After the struggle with the last pint, I am happy to announce that this is very special.
@Appleton Brews and @Rodcx500z
For you pair, most people would expect that kind of cold and snow.
Most wouldn't expect me in the deepest SE corner to have that kind of severe weather, but we stick out into the North Sea and catch the Beast from the East type of weather systems.
Especially where I lived, North facing near the top of the North Downs.
Southerners these days don't know they're born, Northern folk and Scots still do!

My best mate hails from Tunbridge and his wife from Chichester now living in Warrington, always saying how hardy we northerners are@Appleton Brews and @Rodcx500z

For The Masses Lager that was brewed from an AG kit from GEB.
Finished around 5.1%, slightly higher due to continuously sticking mash that meant I spent over an hour stirring it during it.
Carbonation not quite right as I overcarbonated pre Xmas and still trying to correct.
It may look flat but there is CO2 there.
Flavour is brilliant.
Intend on using a water calculator to build a water profile as I will be making it again.

I worked in Warrington for a while
Won't forget the winter of 2021 going into 2022 where it was -5 most nights and I was standing hopped up in a heavy overcoat and half the locals were standing having their smoke in a light jacket and a pair of shorts and then continuing to stand outside to "get some fresh air" for the remainder of their hour break.
Not that I couldn't handle it myself hailing from a slightly higher latitude in NI...

My mate is a retired aircraft engineer, he worked at Airbus in Broughton, he and his team built the first wings for the A380 he took a few of us on a tour of the factory and i kid you not you could eat your dinner off the floor it is that clean
This reminds me of the Winter of 69-70.No snow here either but watching a documentary about the big freeze of 62/63. Not sure I want that level of cold
Overnight blizzards around my way meant the roads were totally impassable to traffic.
No buses!
We 3 from my year were 7 miles from our 2°ry school, so I borrowed my neighbour's steel framed toboggan and we went over to the Darland banks and had a hoot of a day in the fresh deep snow. No concerns at all.
Next day the local authorities sent out a snow plough and the buses got through.
At school that next morning break we 3 were summoned by the beak.
Him, "Why weren't you 3 in school yesterday?"
Us, "Impassable roads, so no buses, Sir"
Him, "....... We'll, don't do it again"
Us (perplexed), "errrr, no Sir!"
Go figure that one.
WTF!
That sounds like my kind of job. Aerospace engineering grad and have about 3 and a half years experience working in ISO Grade 7 cleanrooms. If only I wasn't in the midst of a masters back in NI...
