So, I’ve been on holiday for two weeks, and just before that I didn’t get around to blogging much. Also, our laptop broke, which leaves me not many means of blogging. Add to that the fact that I got a … Continue reading →

May turned out to be an extremely beer-heavy month. The weather picked up in a couple of weekend, resulting in lots of barbecuing, and lots of beers to wash things down. Going through my Untappd account, I found 44 unique … Continue reading →
