@craftybeertweet Haha! I’ve been contacted by so many people about this. I put in a proper shift cheering folks on. In some respects - a much tougher endeavour than running the thing 😜

[Ginger,AleEnthusiast @FCSlattery]

What were you saying about trying to limit your material that could be easily misconstrued @daraobriain ?

[Ginger,AleEnthusiast @FCSlattery]

Well that was a bloody lovely evening. Always wonderful to welcome new faces, too!

Big thanks to local legends Track & Balance for hosting our May Manchester @craftybeergirls Meet-Up.

As the weather has taken a turn for the worse, remembering our lovely warm walk at the weekend from Davenport to Romiley.

Felt spontaneous. Wanted to enjoy the glorious weather + get out into nature. Hopped on a train + in 20 mins we were in the middle of the beautiful
Cheshire countryside.

Many thanks to @caskexplorer for his stunning Chelford Circular walk as inspiration:
