There's nothing like a nice clipped bush! B1108 Scoulton, nr Watton, Norfolk.

I went past there yesterday. Had a trip over to Iceni brewery at Ickburgh to buy some beers!

I have seen the signs off the A1065 Sam but never been, is the beer good?
Thanks for the image fix Martin.

Iceni Róisín Dubh is my favourite beer. So much so that my youngest daughter is named after it (Róisín). Yes I did actually name my daughter after a beer.

could have been worse - if my favourite beer was John Smiths or Guinness

They were actually closed yesterday

well there was nobody around. They're only a small business. I'll just have to have another ride over there again on another day.

roisin meaning rose, dubh meaning dark/black , I do like how you've used both fada's which is the correct way to spell it ,its just non native tongues find it very hard to pronounce , phil lynott wrote a poem/song of the same name ,

Yes, I think the beer was quite probably named after the Thin Lizzy song.
And I never knew they were called 'fada's'. I'd always referred to them as acure accents.

After yesterday's ride was aborted thanks to the Norwegian sabotage incident, I had a fantastic ride this evening. Blue sky above, bluebells all around, perfect conditions for bagging a few dodgy places...

First stop Gay Street, West Sussex. Not easy to find but the countryside round here is beautiful

A little hard to make out the sign in this one but this is Gaywood Farm, Gay Street

Don't know if I get another credit for this one but here's Gay Street Lane

On to Balls Cross, West Sussex. I think I've found my new favourite local road, was having so much fun I flew past the sign and kept ignoring opportunities to turn around. Rode up and down a few times before stopping

Next stop Cocking. Again, went straight past the main sign coming in to the village, but looking for somewhere to turn around I found an even more amusing sign
