Saturday saw us both in work again as we were co-producing a new session for young people at TechResort (that is to say, we've a vague idea how it should work but we wanted to test it on some willing victims before we go further).
It was quite a lot of peopling for us both followed by developing 5 rolls of film in a non-dedicated darkroom...in other words, tanking up in the light-proof bathroom, and developing in the kitchen.
After the deluges of Friday night, the temperature crept up in the afternoon so by the time we left, we were hot and tired. Beerarama seemed the best place to go. Obviously, the prospect of Route 21 Cask beer was persuasive: we really enjoyed it but thought it might be more of a keg beer, YMMV.
On keg was a first (probably only) for Eastbourne: an IPA from Brausyndikat Microbrewery in Zurich. With the brewer also onsite. Very nice it was too - definitely continental in style.
Beerarama is unlike any venue we go to in Bristol - it has a really good wine list and a decent keg offering at all times. There's usually bag-in-box cider/perry too.
Their expansion into cask is very welcome but even if there's nothing on tap you fancy at that moment, it has a huge range of cans in fridges, together with an enviable no/low selection.
Speaking of Bristol, we're heading there soon (in a week or so) and I'm back to yearning for my home city and its variety of places. As the BBB put it yesterday, it's also got more B&W photo-opportunities than Eastbourne.
We'll miss the garden but a couple of weeks watching balloons and peregrines whilst working will be the perfect reset from the amount travelling to venues and stuff I've been doing recently
