Racked it to a keg today.

1st impressions are it's a nice easy supping pint!

Not only can I celebrate the birth of Kayla but surviving a 6 vehicle smash on the M6 early Monday morning.

God has been good to Us this month for a change!

I was driving My BIL's car (long story)

Picked My Nephew and 2 friends up from Bristol as their car broke down and was towed off.

His car is a write off.

A car/van had turned over in the fast lane side on and had no lights.

It was all over in about five seconds.

Praise the Lord We survived.
