3/5. Sweet, sweet, sweet blond with soft, fruity aromas that goes particularly well with spicy cuisine.

Leaving the UK

Finally we’re leaving Britain to become real Europeans. But first we have to get there.

Abbaye des Rocs Brune

Hello you, I'm Mike Padgett. I'm not a Princeton curator, Knoxville mayoral candidate, Kentuckian pastor or Arizona journalist, I just share the same name. In fact, I am a consultant working in user experience and information design.

I also enjoy travel, concerts, films and walking.

I'm originally from Yorkshire, England but nowadays I live in Belgium. My current favourite Belgian beer is Black Albert.

Shameless self-promotion
