But I knew that some Welsh beers were better than others.
Most Welsh beers are surprisingly awful. The one exception we've found is any Wye Valley ale. My fella is particularly badly affected by this since he's a Black Country lad, brought up on Banks's Mild and a tradition that means you don't just seek out the best beer but the pub that pulls a pint of it best.
We had one bottle of Brains S.A. Gold lying around the house for months, which even he wouldn't drink, even when he'd come home in the early hours with some mates and they'd already finished off my whisky on a previous occasion. My daughter and I tried to make a slug trap with it but the slugs also turned their slimy noses up at it.

Pindaric Ode - form of sung poem in the style of the 5th century BC Greek lyrist Pindar.
By the end of the evening the least drunk of us, usually me, had to drive us back to our hotel, which was also a public house. As residents, closing time didn't apply to us. We would stagger off to bed about 3 am and be back underground by 9am for another day's training
Og, your great height must be supported by rather large feet, as you have eluded to, and therefore very hard to find socks that fit, pervious or otherwise. LOL

During that fortnight in the early 1960s I and my colleagues found that the most important factor that decided whether a particular Welsh beer was worth drinking, was the skill of the landlord in storing the beer and pulling it correctly. The name of the brewer was less significant.

I grew a biannual once from seed, a magnificent hollyhock. I was awfully proud of it.

Just for the record, I love the bulbs, all types. They are so designer-friendly. You dig them out in late spring/early summer and plant them again before the snow, and next spring, you just sit back and enjoy the show.

Naoko, I forgot to say that even though I love to have my earlobes nibbled, I sincerely doubt I will ever call the nibbler by the name you posted. That one is a mouthful and a half.

...I love to read the regular gardening column in the Financial Times Weekend. Robin Lane Fox complains on a regular basis about the pests in his garden, especially his badger. He's an Old Etonian fox-hunting Classics Don at an Oxford college who lives in a former rectory. I remember when he said a flower called Tory Blue was doing well just before the last election, I wrote afterwards to enquire if it still did well in a hanging basket but he didn't reply . Occasionally he says something so old-fashioned about the ladies that the editors have to rush down and slap his wrists with a dibber.
I have a couple of Fox' books, including Alexander The Great and 1980's The Search For Alexander. I am a little surprised but delighted, of course, to learn that he's still alive.
