Hello!
Welcome to my little blog, created primarily as I keep forgetting where I’ve been. OK, that’s not the greatest reason to create a blog, but it does me. I like history, quirky things, adventure (not too much), trains, planes, fast food, slow food, craft beer and walking. I’m proud to say that I now have two loyal readers, so what a time to be alive!
There’s a lot of Two Julians posts from when myself and a friend (also called Julian….) visit pubs and also my visiting all the food stalls at Norwich market. And I’m the comms officer of the LDWA, so there’s stuff about that.
There’s also stuff about Accor Hotels who I stay at quite a lot, as well as flights and lounges which are mostly all about Wizz Air and British Airways. I’m also slowly working my way around pubs listed in CAMRA’s Good Beer Guide.
Talking of 100s, here’s the last 100 posts, to give a flavour of the torrent of piffle I’m capable of (and some interesting bits along the way I think for anyone who can sift through everything).
Finally, I’m from Norfolk, so there’s quite a lot about that too… My pub of the year (an award not exactly internationally recognised just yet) a few years ago, the Hop and Vine in Hull, who kindly put this on their board 🙂

And a lovely comment about a post I made on this blog from the Blackfriars Tavern in Great Yarmouth. Just about all the broken image links have been fixed, let me know if you find a page that needs fixing though.
