Happy New Year 2026

Happy New Year

Happy New Year.

This year I'll finally be leaving England.

Are you going to Wales?

And Happy New Year to you, glitterbag!

Yes, land of dragons and castles.

JRR Tolkein grew up near a railway line, and all of the 'good' humanoids are based on British countries.

The Hobbits are English, the Dwarves Scots and the Welsh, land of mountains and poetry are the Elves.

Same resolution as last year. I resolve to quit procrastinating. But, you know, not right now.

It's lovely. The people are so friendly. I've made more friends in the 3 or so months I've been there, than the last 20 years in Southampton.

Happy New Year to all!

Izzy, it’s all good but how is the beer? (I hear good things about Tiny Rebel and Brains.)

There is a beer house and a brewery tap room very close to wherexI'll be living.

They both do excellent beer.

In terms of good cheap beer there is a company called lowcostbeersdotcom, without the dot.

They do discount beers that are close to sell by dates, so next time you're over here you might want to look them up.

Tiny Rebel is quite good, but the local brewery is Conwy brewery.

Best of luck on your new address!!!!

Thanks.
