Retired to Dumries & Galloway, but awake to the world!

@bftwni If we have unripe garden grown tomatoes, placing a banana in with them releases a ripening process

@bftwni @NakedWines I think it's a Speckled Wood

[Alan Johnson @tomatomanole]

@bftwni Looks like a scented climbing jasmine vine type. We had one in our Leicestershire garden which grew on the rear fence.
It grew better in some seasons than others!

@bftwni @montypython One of my favourite pics

@neolatyno Interesting to see 2 Harrier jump jets on board. Didn't know any were still operating

[Alan Johnson @tomatomanole]

@bftwni They have a good complement of beers on at the Tap Room and completely sold out of take away stock just before Christmas including all the minikegs they had prepared. We managed to buy 4 bottles of Galloway Gold beforehand.

[Alan Johnson @tomatomanole]

@silverpebble We picked these in South Africa on a nature reserve

[Alan Johnson @tomatomanole]

@bftwni @MovemberUK Just to let you know - Sulwath started serving freshly brewed Galloway Gold today. It'll take a while to get their full complement going but they're in good time for Christmas brews!

[Alan Johnson @tomatomanole]

@herdyshepherd1 Glad that your experience in our home town of CD was rewarding. You deserve to do well with these beasts!

[Alan Johnson @tomatomanole]

@herdyshepherd1 Very telling to me that one day on you've had no responses.

[Alan Johnson @tomatomanole]

@bftwni @elo We're okay, thanks. Occasional visit to the brewery tap. (They're featuring more guest beer now until their kit has been sorted)
We sampled some Cumberland Ale last week which Sandra managed to get from Jennings.

@aldamu_jo So, from a police perspective, he's trespassing in a gym. Why would handcuffs be needed for such an arrest?

@bluhue123 👍👍👍👍👍

[Alan Johnson @tomatomanole]

@Maga_Trigger Yes - no doubt

@CAMRA_Official @caskaleweek @BeerChannel Signed - seems that the prime support here lies in Midlands and Southern England

@TalkingPicsTV First time I remember him was in "Some People", a delightful film set in Bristol from 1962

@bftwni @pottycow1629 @sulwathbrewers It happened on 29/7 when their hot liquor tank was destroyed by a fire. In addition to nearly £8k being raised, the Dougie Arms in Dumfries is having a fundraiser this weekend.

[Alan Johnson @tomatomanole]

@bftwni You may not have heard of recent developments at Sulwath. Allen's son Scott is now their brewer and some new beers have appeared. He's making good headway on sales, too, in Dumfries and Moffat
