So, we had a little look at the Green Dragon, Bishop's Frome this evening. Very good Purple Moose retailing at £3.20. Knowledgeable landlord from Northumberland. (If that's not an oxymoron.) He hates the Scots - also very heartening. Unspoilt pub - same as ever. Outside area included comfortable seats with backs. I like this place, best approached through Burley Gate and Much Cowarne. KP peanuts available. Take note, Black Swan. 8/10. Going back a day or three but it has just occurred to me that you commenced this post with the word 'so'. As a 'one-off', fair do's. But really? You'll be telling me next that you answer questions in the same way. John Humphrys would not be impressed. My use of the word "so" was not in the context of a redundant conjunction to a question. It is clearly used - correctly - as a musing to introduce a new idea. |

"Can I have" a pint of Theakston's Old Peculier was my query in the Blue Anchor Inn at Aberthaw last evening. Very welcome after walking ten miles of the "Wales Coast Path", half of which accompanies dual carriageways through Barry. £4.95 but worth it. Jemima Pitchfork Golden Ale (Glamorgan Breweries) in the Monmouth town pub which is the King's Head. 4.5 strength. £1.99 and very good. (Pity about all the people in the establishment.) "Can i have a pint of Dorset Gold cider and a look at the menu please" i asked at the George Inn, North Chideock, the other afternoon. This was after a 9 mile walk exploring the Holloways of the Marshwood Vale, "sorry sir, we stopped serving 10 minutes ago" was his reply. I could of slapped him. It's a lovely part of the country though. |

Did you visit the cement works? |

No more thick than most. It's just that I live just off the A4103, 3 miles out of the city, rather than in the Westfields area. But thanks for the reply. I live in the parish of Holmer. Hope you've never had the task of getting persons from A to B? Bugger. Rumbled. |

Gentle potter up the north Cornwall coast from Duckpool taking in Sharpnose,Vicarage Cliff and Hawkers Hut.Turning inland across the fields towards St John The Baptist and St Morwenna the early parts of which originate from Norman times.The impressive vicarage sits below the church in the valley and was home to the Rev Hawker whilst serving the parish.Walk on up the lane past the tea rooms for a well deserved refreshment at the Bush Inn the second oldest hostelry in Cornwall.
The interior is much as it always was,rustic,stone fireplaces and floors ,highback pews,scrubbed wooden tables and walls adorned with a cutlass,ships lamps and plenty of cobwebs so it's not for the fussy.The Landlord is a decent sort, ex teacher ready with a bit of banter and ready to serve a decent pint of Tribute or a Rattlers on draught.Good pub grub menu and daily specials board always on display.There is a beer garden and no better place to sit on a sunny afternoon to enjoy your lunch,drink your ale and marvel at the bright blue ocean in the distance.Should you avail yourself of the facilities they are primitive and outside across the rear yard and certainly not the place for fine Oxford brogues.

The crown Pub in Horton-in-Ribblesdale, North Yorkshire is just brilliant. I've been there on some oompah band performing in honour of my cousin's engagement. That was hell of an evening!  |

I'm intrigued to know (for the benefit of youngsalmon, I'm as easily intrigued as I am fascinated) why it's best approached through Burley Gate and Much Cowarne. Just for the scenery? Much smoother road, the B road from Fromes Hill is rough as F***!! |

This isn't funny, it just makes you look like a pathetic crank. |

Well. The Farmers Arms at Wellington Heath. Falls between more stools than the Naked Civil Servant.
Extolled in that shocking periodical, which answers to nobody, called The Hopvine.
Close both.

At least you didn't start that appraisal with the word 'so'. 😁 The Farmers Arms at Wellington Heath was similarly unremarkable the last time I visited. Which was about 26 years ago. In fact, I was astounded to discover that it is still trading. |
