Going to Turf Hotel?
Make sure you dont get stranded! We made the mistake of planning to use the White Heather Ferry to get from Turf Hotel upto Double Locks.
We waited until the time it was meant to show up… it never came. Sadly this meant we missed the reliable ferry back to Topsham. What this did mean was we found out how long it took to walk to Starcross. Thanks!

Malaysian woman to be caned for drinking beer?
A Malaysian court has reportedly ordered a review of the caning sentence given to a woman caught drinking beer.
The main judge at Pahang’s Islamic court put the caning on hold pending the review, saying the sentence was “too extreme”, the Star newspaper said.
If the sentence is enforced, Kartika Sari Dewi Shukarno will be the first woman to be caned in the country.
Now I dont quite understand what is going on. Was she going to be caned because she was a women drinking beer, was it the act of a Muslim drinking beer, or was it because she was drinking beer in public?
Can anyone explain?

Wells Bombardier Satanic Mills
Imagine Darkness. I mean really imagine the darkest part of your inner soul when you’re having a bad day,and its dark outside.
Thats how dark this is stuff is.
But dont get me wrong, after the first few gulps this stuff really is quite nice and smooth. As per the website:
Satanic Mills uses richly-roasted ‘chocolate’ malt, the finest English hops and our very own natural mineral water. The result is a seductively dark ale with coffee and blackberry aromas, a finely balanced depth of flavour, a surprisingly smooth palate and a nostalgically smokey finish.
Worth drinking chilled!

Can having a beer be an act of Worship?
Gordon C. Stewart seems to think so:
Sometimes having a beer is a sacramental act, a kind of holy moment, a foretaste of the kind of world we seek, the dissolving of the divisions, community created boldly by grace out of the vain searches for innocence and the broken, rancorous claims of righteousness.
I so very agree!
