It sounds like a good name for a pub doesn`t it?
But, firstly meet the calf with no name.
Born on boxing day, the Highland Calf is a male and We would like a name for him, so if any of you out there would like to forward a name, we would be delighted to hear from you........
A few days ago we had another partial eclipse.
Though sadly most of the uk was covered in cloud, we did have a little glimpse and a brilliant sunrise, hope you like these......
Anyone see the sun?
There it is, or half of it........
The rest of a lovely morning.......

Have A Banks`s!
A short while ago I wrote about Wolverhampton and visiting Banks`s Brewery.
Well, I`ve done just that..........
During the early 80`s it was alot smaller than it is now. Now it sells throughout the West Midlands though it has been brewed for over a hundred years, where it was once sold in casks is now in bottles or cans but you can still get the poured variety at your local and it has a great unique flavour to be savoured.
This is now the rear entrance to Banks`s. It was once a through road.
The brewery also sits on a former nursing institute.
The signs are enticing........
Inside is the shop, but not only that you can have a tour of the brewery, buy the t-shirts and have a pint in the bar......
The original fireplace where on a cold day you can warm your hands....
You have only had a little glimpse, why not try the real thing, like I said before you won`t be disappointed!
