Hello! Welcome to my wee, constantly evolving, digital space.

I am still currently working towards the dream of opening a small, independent craft beer brewery in rural Japan.

As it stands we are on the brink of hearing the verdict on a subsidy application which has the potential to kick off the brewery construction.

Nothing happens quickly in this part of the world but updates about this journey and life in general can be found within these pages.

Latest note

We woke very early in the morning to discover that our dog had passed away.

He had been suffering for a while, and held on way longer than expected but now finally his suffering is over.

He was with us for 13.5 years and will be sorely missed.
