Thursday 2 September 2010: Anyone make homebrew
The old railway bridge was being taken down this week in readiness for a new one to be built.
I thought I might be lucky and get some photographs of it in the process of being done on the way home from work tonight....wrong. The work was being done overnight and alas the bridge is no more.
However, whilst I was walking back to the main road bemoaning my lack of blippage, I was looking around me and spotted something that stopped me in my tracks...
`They`re hops` I thought to myself `Why have we got hops growing along a railway embankment in Hinckley`
There are loads of them growing through the other bushes and trees, I managed to find some in a little less precarious place and got my blip

I had the same thought as Sarah, Stan would love these hops. We are going for 3 nights, its partly a wedding anniversary present to ourselves (20 years) and a rest to get over Mums visit.

Hops! Aren't they beautiful? These must be self-seeded ones. Is it hop harvesting time? This is a very lovely photograph. Well found.

I remember Hop picking when I was a kid with Nan and Dad.
