What do you do on your day off?

This guy goes to the Museum of Cider in Hereford 🍎

Some might call that a "busman's holiday", but we're pretty sure he's not allowed on buses... πŸ˜‰

Thoroughly recommend this great museum located on the old site of the Bulmers factory. Every true cider supper should visit at least once!

Big thanks to Katy for her knowledge and helpfulness.
