Today is the 33rd birthday of Jeff Bell, whose alter ego was, until a couple of years ago, Stonch, one of England’s best bloggers. He retired from blogging to concentrate on his new job as landlord of a London pub, The Gunmakers, in Clerkenwell, a village in the heart of London. I stopped by to meet Jeff on my way back from a trip tp Burton-on-Trent a few years ago. And two years back, I saw Jeff several times during GBBF week. Join me in wishing Jeff a very happy birthday.

Great photos. Facebook tells me that other venerable blogger, Knut of Norway, also shares this birthday.
