Hello Taddy, I am sure that Aldi also sell your favourite Hobgoblin.....because each time I see it I think of you.
I am not a fan of beer or lager(except on the hottest of days with a raging thirst.....then it goes down like a fat boy on a see-saw).
In fact my favourite tipple is a good strong sweet brew of builders tea....made with leaves(Never bags) and made in the very large China cup.
Builders tea in a large Floral china cup seems a bit odd, but it is number one for me.
If I have to have alcohol....give me a glass of chilled White Zinfandel(and I like Cold Water Creek Brand the best).

Or something out of Harry Potter! Apparently it's a type of Grape & I was quite surprised to hear that the Zinfandel Wine is a big thing from the "States". With a name like that I thought it was Germanic .... Aye well, you live & learn.
Yes, I think it is a Californian wine.
I also like the Gallo Winery White Grenache......both the Zinfandel and the Grenache are not white wines, they are Rose....

Not really a Wine person, but have heard "Dornfelder lieblich" is a sweetish red?
Me neither Dave, I only whine when the price of my Hobgoblin goes up.
Your's, the Luddite.
Where is Ryewolf....I hope he is alright.
He has been a regular poster to this thread....and he has not posted for a few days now.
Come back Ryewolf.....all is forgiven...you can post as many bugs as you like...they can be ugly bugs too....I,promise I won't complain again.

Day 46: Cinnabar Moth, one of several I spotted in my yard.
Last year I had hundreds of cinnabar moth caterpillars chomping on the dozen or so Ragwort plants that suddenly popped up. Ragwort is poisonous as are the caterpillars and moths. In fact there were so many caterpillars that I collected 4 lots of around 100 caterpillars in a tub and moved them to places I'd seen lots of Ragwort growing.

Day 48: A Walk in the park, Oak Hill Park Accrington, it was owned by Thomas Hargreaves, head of the Broad Oak Print Works in 1815. In 1889 the estate belonged Reginald Gervis Hargreaves, who was married to Alice Liddell, the model for Lewis Carroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’. It was opened as a park in 1893...

Thwaites or Sam Smiths, still produce a pleasant enough pint of Dark Mild.
Used to get Sam Smiths in the "Greyhound" on Whalley drive down the road from the Stanley ground, last time I was over unfortunately the place had closed up.
I'm still here and okay, just been a tad busy with stuff and then the clutch went on my car, almost caught up again, just todays bugs to look at and process....
The Greyhound is still closed up. My Dad was the steward at the Top Club across the junction around 1988-89
