That's what the sign says on this pub in Belfast, anyway. I will admit to enjoying the odd Guinness but I'm very rarely in a public house these days. And when I am, I'm usually aghast at the prices they charge, especially in a place like Belfast.

We’re away on our travels this week. Missy has a room-full of ‘stuff’ that needed removed for the summer. The Uni can’t help. I guess with 20,000-odd students they just say ‘Nope. Clear your room in June. Come back in September’. There are companies who specialise in storing student gear but having looked into it we decided this time to drive over and do it ourselves. This time. We’ll take stock after we get home on Friday and think about options for next year.
One of the things that swayed our decision to drive it was it would give us the opportunity to call on my Uncle, who is now in his late eighties. As I write this (on my phone, in a hotel in Shrewsbury, England) we’ve not long left him. It’s been almost 10 years since I saw him last & it was great to spend the afternoon in his company. Really great. I gave him loads of family photographs & we chatted about old times and now times. That alone has made the trip worthwhile.
