Back from Interaction...

Our first Worldcon, and we both had a good time, despite calatrice being somewhat under the weather for most of the weekend due to a cold, and the complete absence of reasonably-priced cider from the con bars. (Many thanks to the Finns for having some well-chilled bottles of reasonable stuff at their party on Sunday night)

Somehow, I even managed to not be a complete physical wreck this morning...

Re: Cider

Should have gone to the Welsh party they had both Welsh Cider and Perry [...] also real cider

Arg. I really was depressingly bad at circulating around the parties.

And the very idea of a Hereford cider festival sounds very tempting indeed - my mum's side of the family is from around Hereford, and she now lives in Ledbury. We had a very enjoyable visit to Weston's last time we went down, if somewhat frustrating (I could only bring away as much cider as I could physically carry in my already fairly heavy luggage)

We don't do too badly in Manchester - several supermarkets stock fairly good bottled stuff - but I wish we had the sort of pubs you find in the west country, with an anonymous barrel on the end of the bar...
