Out there being me... Craft beer and photography are my hobbies.. Retail hell is my penance

This was a fairly ugly print, rather than throw it out though I used it as a proof of concept... #muckingabout

Ready for drying, will be sun dried as is traditional for #3beancoffee tree to cup single origin #smallbatch harvests

[Gruff Harding @HardingGruff]

Well it's finally harvest day at #3beanCoffe, since the last crop of late 2024 we have through hard graft and patience increased our production by 430%. #farmtotable #smallbatch #atrisanal. Also a post harvest brew to celebrate. #beeroclock

I have a considerable amount of matchbox cars and trucks, many of them are over 40 years old. Some are boxed some are not, I'm currently wrestling with the decision to sell them all as I haven't had a space to display them for a very long time. #whattodo

The glass is imported, the beer is not #beeroclock

Today's progress.. Still working on dirt acquisition, although I have a have some mulch to chuck in first

[Gruff Harding @HardingGruff]

Some on going ideas to the project, behind the screen I'll put a decent size planter box..

[Gruff Harding @HardingGruff]

Milled up another couple of sleepers this morning, main structure is all but done, now I just have to fill it, then I can transplant the hops before it gets too late.

[Gruff Harding @HardingGruff]

I paid said my thanks apologised again and quickly left. I will now be thoroughly checking any bags before I leave the house in future

[Gruff Harding @HardingGruff]

This is Arthur, and at times he is a bit of a dickhead, here is a wee story of his latest shenanigans, involving my morning trip to the supermarket today...

[Gruff Harding @HardingGruff]

And hear a gasp to my left, A look of mild horror/surprise from the checkout operator. Something has fallen out of the bag, I'm thinking peanut butter left behind from a previous shop. It's happened before, I really wish it was peanut butter but alas no

[Gruff Harding @HardingGruff]

Arthur had decided to deposit his latest work in pest control in the shopping bag and said trophy was a freshly caught and fortunately dead mouses, many apologies later, removal of mouse to the nearest bin and a few laughs at my expense Which was totally fair
