England real ale journal, 1st entry

• Saturday (september 27):   The Bear at Home, North Morton, Oxfordshire, high quality freehouse about 1.5 hour walk through fields from East Hagbourne.  I drank Bear ale brewed by West Berkshire.
• Sunday: At The Bell drank Old Tyler (great as usual, perhaps my favourite bitter anywhere) and then something called Spathdale (approximate) that was also excellent.  Later passed by the Blueberry and had a very fine Butts Barbus Barbus. Worth looking for!
• Monday: Back in London, had a very good Cornwall beer at Pillars of Hercules (featured in Ian McKewan's Sweet Tooth) in Soho.
• Tuesday: So-so Black Sheep at Audley in Mayfair and a fine Young's beer at the Windmill (Mayfair-Soho border area)
• Wednesday: Superb Adnan's Broadside at Seven Stars, across from the Royal Court of Justice. Strongly recommended.
