The ‘year’ endeth here!
Week 72 It’s been 72 weeks since I started this ‘year of beer’ blog, so there’s been a slight over-run – but what’s the odd 20 weeks when the project is complete! Yes, the text and illustrations, all printed out, and a mammoth 5 disks (there are some very big illustration files) have now arrived … Read more
No it’s not a brewery
Week 71 Well, the book is finished – did the last amendments yesterday – but I am not yet finished with it. Now for the printing. I’m not used to having to provide hard copy; the last book I did was all digital, as have been the last few articles. Just guessing, but I think … Read more
Round squares
Week 70 Seventy weeks and the book is good to go! (To meet its maker, as it were……) Well, a few possible amendments aside, it is ready, and that includes adding in where all the illustrations should go and cross-referencing them in the text, and sorting out all the letters of permission, that is making … Read more
Shopping at the museum
Week 69 Realised I hadn’t quite finished off the Hertford pics, so here’s what the Old Brewery now looks like, in its new role as a backdrop to Sainsbury’s. McMullen’s, of course, still brew in Hertford, but not in this brewhouse, which has been renovated as part of the redevelopment and now awaits new tenants, … Read more
Big barleycorns
Week 68 And on we plod through the captions, just reached number 200 out of 316 – seems like a minor landmark. It is a process not without interest, as photos reveal things previously unnoticed, and when the pics are put together with the text the result should look fantastic. Still, I shall be quite … Read more
What happened to the brewhouse?
Week 67 This week some pictures from Leeds, where the old Tetley’s site came as something of a surprise. It is so difficult keeping an eye on what’s happening with site redevelopments when they are not on your doorstep, and I’d read that the older part of Tetley’s, including the original brewhouse, was being kept … Read more
Good stabling and motor pit
Week 66 Captions, captions, captions – just done number 40 out of 315. Need to keep churning them out at 15 a day for three weeks to get done. The trick is to provide added value, not duplicate what’s in the text, not be too verbose, while being as accurate as I was while writing … Read more
That really is a microbrewery!
Week 65 And a momentous week it is too – well, for me anyway. The text of the book was completed at 9.05am on Friday 29th March 2013. Of course, there is a lot more to a book than just text, but text is the one thing you can’t do without. It will be altered … Read more
Down in Dorchester
Week 64 It was really interesting to see what was going on at the former Eldridge Pope Dorchester Brewery – would have been good to have a sunnier day for photos, but at least it was mellow mistiness rather than pouring rain, typical Hardy Country weather. There’s a lot of information available online about the … Read more
A mysterious window in Bridport
Week 63 Back from trip to wet Wessex with hundreds of photos, despite what did indeed turn out to be a pretty damp few days in Hardy (the author not the brewers…) country, but with misty low clouds rather than pouring rain so photography was just about possible. Dorset itself was delightful – turned out … Read more
