Dave & I bought our first house last year and because of this – especially the saving that needed to done beforehand – we skipped having a holiday abroad.

In the past year, my other half has gotten me more in to drinking and actually enjoying beer. So when there was an opportunity to take a tour around the Hillside Brewery in Gloucestershire, I jumped at the chance.
