I'm glad to see loads of 🐞 larvae on my hops. Hopefully this means two things. Firstly the aphids are done for and secondly we're in for a hot summer, although looking out the window I'm not so sure about that.

Who loves cask ale? We all love cask ale! But it's in danger of fading away so sign this petition and let's try and give it a boost 🍻
We got invited to Parliament to talk about our UNESCO campaign on the same day that our petition to get cask ale recognised as Living Heritage went live on the government website!
