The beer section of the title come from the beer bottles 🙂 Ota and J very kindly gave Dr Tempe some beer for Yule in a flip top bottle, seeing as Dr Tempe a) enjoyed the beer very much (thank you Ota!) and b) is brewing his own he thought the bottle was a brilliant way of bottling and looked into buying some. However whilst picking some beer up in Tesco we discovered they do a rather nice dark lager in the same style bottle so option 2 is to buy this on a regular basis and keep the bottles (gradually getting rid of the crown cap style ones).
The banishment part of the title belongs to Toby – as you can probably see he has been undoing the mesh fence with his teeth and escaping, luckily he has not tried to get out of the drive (and we are keeping the big gate shut) but until we can get the fence sorted out (replaced!) he has to be crated and let out under Dr Tempe's supervision! The only plus side to this that I can see is that I should be able to stitch *sigh*
