Ealing Beer Festival

IBM Leave a comment

We’ve been to the Beer Festival before, but this is the first year that we volunteered to help out behind the bar.

Pulling A Pint

We initially vounteered for two afternoons, but ended up doing a third as we enjoyed it that much! On Friday too, we had an ulterior motive as one of favorite local bands were playing – the Good Ol’ Boys.

Inbetween our sessions behind the bar we got the opportunity to sample a few beers ourselves. There were over 500 to choose from!

We will certainly be volunteeering again next year!

It’s certainly living up to its name this month, and lat month too thinking about it. We had some quite high winds at times during March, and now we’re getting rainy days.

I was going to go out and do a local photowalk today but the weather has put paid to my plans.

Instead I am catching up on some computer tasks. I certainly have plenty of Lightroom and Photoshop work to get on with.

 

The Day The Music Died

Today marks the sixtieth anniversary of the death of Buddy Holly, The Big Bopper and Ritchie Valens in a plane crash after performing in Clear Lake Iowa.

Holly was only 22.

They were on their way to perform in Minnesota when the plane came down in bad weather killing all three and the pilot.
