Three years in Britain doing this blog   3 comments

The third anniversary passed yesterday.  The last year was difficult, starting as it did with me in the hospital with multiple fractured ribs and vertebra, torn ligaments (from which I am still recovering) and a hose sticking out of my chest to reinflate the left lung.  Good times.

We had new neighbours that were a joy, and I eased back into running.  This update, though, shall focus on the business at hand: pub visits.

I hit 280 new pubs in the last 12 months, bringing the overall total to 810.

Wiltshire 147 last year (147 all three years)
Oxfordshire 91 (276)
London 12 ( 41)
Gloucestershire 8 ( 11)

Hertfordshire 5 ( 9)
Cambridgeshire 4 (221)
