A Week In LE67 – Part 2

So having finally re entered the blogging world it is time to tie up the ultimate holiday destination/pub crawl in LE67. As Duncan quite rightly noticed in yesterday’s instalment, it never rains in this part of Leicestershire. (some of the pubs on this week of paradise!) Dick and Dave could visit a host of boozers…

A Week In LE67 – Part 1

It’s been a long time since I last posted…20 days to be precise, which is an unwanted record on Lifeafterfootball.

Dealing With Thorny Issues In Thornton

Having a self-imposed hiatus from blogging due to a house move I have been under the cosh from all angles. Firstly, The Wickingman set the tone with a tweet claiming that I would spend the rest of my days in the Slug & Lettuce in Solihull Town Centre drinking G&T and ‘premium’ brand Estrella Lager…
