She smiled as she walked into the pub yesterday, for the first thing she saw was a pretty and well made lampshade! Fabric laminated onto card.
And you would have to be a new reader if you don't know how fussy she is about lighting!
What a very pleasant afternoon they had, the part where they sat was quieter than the bar side and they sat for many hours talking and eating and generally having a good natter, as friends can and should do.
The food was good, the service excellent, all in all a good place to go.
And now comes the 'funny' thing, she walks past this pub every time she comes back from the library but yesterday was the first time she's ever been inside.
It won't be the last. Because with the closure of the three pubs that used to be in her neighbourhood:
The Australian and the Shugborough Arms both on Milner Street and the Moore Arms on Moore Street, she had no cosy and local place to meet friends for a pub lunch.
The Admiral Codrington used to be a splendid place when Mel ran it but it is now completely soulless and very different. So to find a pleasant pub with good food is a real find.
She then went down to the market to get meat, fruit and vegetables.. and it was a good thing she did, for the temperature plummeted last night and it is bitterly cold.
It is so cold that she actually turned the boiler on! Despite the flats above and besides us keeping our home warm and toasty, it was very chilly when we woke up this morning.
But the allotment vegetable beds are tucked up under at least a foot of manure and compost, we've clean water, a gas boiler for heat and hot water, electricity at the flick of a switch and food in yumyum hq.
Which is more than thousands of people around the world, we are extremely fortunate and.. we know it.
GeeGee Parrot.
