What a lovely update. I love the frontier and I love old things. Don’t much care for what’s between and we don’t have any of the latter here. So things like the church are super cool to me.
Thanks much!
Think it, be it.

@jerkules Great update. Thanks for posting.

@mclaincausey thanks man! I forgot to mention which was Wrong by NoMeansNo based on some of your posts on the forum. I love it, drums and bass are so good. Hell of a good album!
And yeah it’s something we take for granted, having this history all around us. Whenever I go to the US it’s startling how new and shiny everything looks.

@sabergirl ha it was very unexpected, especially it felt like a private road and exactly an obvious place for a communal building.

It’s become an annual tradition for me and my wife to go to the London Craft Beer Festival with my wife’s aunt and uncle. They’re the best company, we always have a great time. But inevitably we never take many photos cause we’re too busy chatting and drinking.
I took the wabash, but didn’t get too many shots. My favourite beers were both from Vault City - “Staggeringly Stoopid” and a Raspberry S’More sour that I forgot the name of. The former is the blue beer below - undoubtedly a stunt to get people interested, but it was still ridiculously good. Also the amazing pastry stouts at Amundsen were a highlight..
My wife’s uncle (Chris) is an amazing dude who has gotten into IH based on my recommendations! Think he has a couple pairs of jeans, a denim western and few other items. Of course he had to try the wabash on which we all agreed looked great on him
And we walked past the Battle of Cable Street mural, which commemorates when a fascist march through the East End resulted in the fascists getting their arses kicked by regular Londoners. Not to get political, but given the current fascist riots that have been going on in the UK, it’s warming to remember that the UK working classes have rejected racism in the past, and I hope will continue to do so. Fuck racism.

Sorry for the lack of content from me lately - the days have been busy with work and kids birthdays and the weather’s been warm, so not much opportunity to wear and share the wabash.
This week we’re in Norfolk for a getaway. It was my daughter’s 10th birthday and she’s always wanted to try camping, so we gave that a go for a couple of nights. We found a place that had rides and a petting zoo so - lots of fun for the kids.
Yesterday we rented a boat and explored the Norfolk Broads. It was a beautiful day and one that I’ll remember spending with my family. Lots of wildlife, my favourite was spotting some cormorants hunting for fish. Unfortunately no decent shots of him.
We’re now staying in a converted barn in the north of the county and planning the rest of our trip. Will hopefully get to wear the wabash and share with you the last week of my leg of the tour
