Local ale
I enjoyed a local beer of a different sort in Farnham on Thursday night. The ale itself was from Kent, so a long way from Surrey. But I was taken there by my host Rob, and was made to feel fully part of a local group of drinkers at the pub. Thanks to all - local is about a lot more than where something is produced.

Thank you for the kind and wise and true comment, Tim. But....Kent's not THAT far from Farnham! Couple of counties away. Not compared to fresh flowers in winter flown from Kenya, at least (which have drunk gallons of precious local water needed for farmers to grow their subsistence crops - as I heard a Kenyan say at a Christian Aid do in Westminster Methodist Hall after some Trade Justice/Drop the Debt march - "I go to a Sainsbury's and I see green beans from my country, which earn us hard dollars to spend on computers, which mess up our lives!". !! Tim Jones blogs apart!
Pray for the Burmese, everybody.
I hope to come up and see you and the others in London on Tuesday, Tim. Congrats on your gritty achievement. And fresh enough after 23 miles and challenging Jeremy Hunt, MP, for a pint and a half of Shepherd Neame Late Red, courtesy of The Lamb, best locals' boozer in town.
