These are 3 cardboard boxes stacked on a wooden worksurface. The box top features yellow mangoes.
This is a table covered with a black rubber mat, with 2 groups of glass bottles. There's a white plastic fermentation tub behind them, and a yellow plastic bottle stand. In the front, under the table is a cloth to catch the drips from the bottling process. There's a big green Monstera plant at the back, and pictures on the wall.
This is taken from the motorhome doorway, facing over the Baltic sea. The grass is in the foreground, there's a bit of sand visible, then the sea. There's the awning leg to the right.
This is a red brick and wood structure in Saxony, Germany. It has wooden doors and an inscription over them. It has green trees on either side. We passed it when we stopped for a walk around Dummersee.
This is an Inkbird temperature controller. It's a small case with red numbers showing the current temperature and the desired temperature. It's hanging off a fridge side, also known as my brew chamber. This is trying to get a Kveik yeast up to high temperatures for a lager kit. There is a yellow bungee cord above it, and its manual below it. Humble brag - I broke it carelessly, and managed to mend it, handy since this model isn't sold anymore.
This is under a bridge in Bristol, at night. The brick wall is light brown with yellow and black graffiti. The pavement is white and the water reflects the graffiti.
A photo from above. This is of an earth border, centred on green leaves of wild garlic. There are green mossy rocks and other weeds, but this is the first year I've grown some to make trendy pesto.
This is a picture of Liz Truss, the temporary PM who tanked the UK economy and now does the far right circuit. She is wearing a red top, seated at a desk in front of a bookcase. The text on the picture says she's suggesting an underground transgender mafia stole some kitkats recently. If you like Liz, Reform, the Tories, please unfollow me.
2 loaves on a cooling rack. They are light brown and covered in seeds, onions and garlic (Trader Joe's bagel mix). Behind them is a frosted glass with a dark beer within. They are all on a pale wooden work surface. I love bread and beer, but can only make one of them well.
Screenshot of network routers/repeaters and current usage.
A clear glass carboy on a wooden worktop. It has a red handle and white froth in the bottom from the cleaning liquid. The dark oven top is visible through it.
Glass in the front on a wooden worktop, with dark beer within and an oven hob behind with red pans on.
The brew is further along, there is a lot of light brown foam on top of the black brew tub. There is a white burco boiler on the left for the sparge water, and red gloves to the right. I used those to remove the cover and stir the grist.
This is my outdoor brewery setup. There is a red striped tarpaulin covering my brew tub. The brew tub is steel, covered by a black insulation cover. There is a white plastic tub next it, with a red lid and a steel stirrer on the lid. They are on grey decking.
A glass of beer next to a green bottle in a wicker pouring basket.

Glass of beer, next to a green beer bottle of Père Noël. Both are on a pale wooden worktop in front of cream tiles.
A glass of beer with a frothy head next to a brown bottle of beer. The glass is clear, with Northern Monk written on it and an outline of the brewery. The bottle is a Kirkstall Brewery Dissolution IPA. Both are on a wooden worktop in front of cream tiles.
An album cover by Samantha Crain, a black and white photo surrounded by a yellow tinged forest.
A grey stone stein, and a brown beer bottle together on a light brown wooden worktop with cream tiles behind. The stein has a metal lid, and beer bottle has a green label. It's a smoked beer, very nice, from my Christmas collection.
A bottle and glass on a light brown wooden work surface, in front of light brown tiles. The dark brown bottle contains Straffe Hendrik Xmas Blend 2022. The glass is clear, a large broad tulip shape, and coincidentally is also a Straffe Hendrik glass.

There's the wire cork capsule in front, and part of my daughter's Happy Birthday sign on the beige tiles behind.
A grey stone 500ml beer stein is on a wooden worktop. The stein has the word München on it and a picture of the city. The stein has a grey metal lid. It's my favourite.
This is a clear glass carboy filled with a dark brown Duvel clone beer. The carboy has a red rubber seal on the top. The liquid has the start of a white pellicle forming on top of it, which is due to the yeasts and other goodness I added for a bit of funkiness.
The front of the hotel, a long ornate, light brown façade with cars parked outside.
This picture is the Tree Stage at Glastonbury, with people in the foreground, a red screen and a man on a stage; Alexis Taylor.
The picture is sideways (rotate didn't work) and is of 2 bags on top of each other. The top bag is cream and says Glastonbury is calling and I must go. The bottom bag is full of shopping, at a bus stop in the rain as I set off to go to Glastonbury.
The picture is of a glass with pale beer in front of a dark brown bottle reclining in a bottle basket, on a wood worktop.
The picture shows a Billy IKEA bookcase, with tools, plant pots, Portuguese pottery musicians, various bowls, speakers, a record player, plants and my junk.
This is a large metal boiler covered in a black insulating jacket on a flat brown trolley, under a wooden pulley system. It has a tub with hop bines behind it.
A book resting on a worksurface. The cover shows a man holding up a pint of beer, surrounded by brewing kit. This is from 1993. Heaven.
This photo shows a light blue plate with 2 empty bin cases, crumbs, and a white fluffy Easter bunny toy, on a black table top.
This shows a sharktopus attacking a sun bather. Stay with me, it gets better. The sun bather is on a rock, and the shark is rising out of the sea, mouth open, with sharp points around its gills and tentacles coming out of its body. The sea's a lovely green.
There is a brown glass demijohn with an elbow air lock, next to a glass jar containing mixed yeasts, with a red lid on the wooden worktop. There is also a bowl with a measuring tube full of beer and hydrometer.
A large glass jar with a red plastic lid. It holds a brown liquid, it's wort and mixed yeasts. There's a Duvel glass holding beer next to the jar. This is my kitchen.

The album Highway 61 Revisited is on top of a record player. The cover shows Bob looking at us, in a multicoloured shirt over a t shirt showing a Triumph motorbike. He's holding sunglasses and someone is standing behind him holding a camera.

A bottle of Kasteel Triple on a wooden work surface, next to a small red santa crown cork bottle opener.

Screenshot of my phone, showing headings that I've not seen before.
The holiday view from the motorhome, rain falling on the window, looking out into the aire carpark onto the surrounding houses.
A pint of Landlord at Whitelocks, Leeds. I never made it here during the year.
Frontage of an old Barclays pub in London. Green tiles, ornate details.

A banana and peanut butter muffin, topped with strawberry cream and a chocolate dipped strawberry.
A picture of Magritte's pipe picture but altered to say ceci n'est pas une pattern. Who knew he would later go on to back Paul Simon and write a song about himself?
Jam pan with a red mass of chopped chillies, onions, nigella seeds, vinegar, water, sugar. Painful now with fumes, but will be great on pizzas.
A glass of homebrew with a good head in a Straffe Hendrik glass, on a wooden worktop in front of a 1950s metal bread tin. The recipe is a 19th century imperial export stout. It's still young and therefore green, but hey, it's fun to check the developments.
