Dr. Johnson would probably be quite displeased to be mistaken for a horse, but I suspect that I could be putting the dray before the horse here.<br /><br />Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed the day; I should do things like that more often.Graham Wheelernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-29257099684830503922015-04-02T18:11:26.088+01:002015-04-02T18:11:26.088+01:00I think this question came up on the Jim's Bee...I think this question came up on the Jim's Beer Kit forum and Graham said the person on the cover was the photographer's assistant not him.

Informative, well-written and highly practical, I brewed some cracking beers by following Graham’s recipes and guidelines.<br /><br />Glad to learn he is still going strong, even if he does look quite a bit older than the picture on the cover of one of his original books!<br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2558050635605413616.post-27196703274758432052015-03-31T09:23:08.932+01:002015-03-31T09:23:08.932+01:00Am really miffed that I missed it.
