Thought I'd check in and report on yesterdays foray to the Pub. We decided to walk to the Station as it's only about three miles and goes around the Bay so it's quite a scenic walk. There were five of us who met at the Station, we got a "Group Traveller" ticket which worked out at less than a fiver return. It's only about 20 minutes on the train to Wool and then 5 minutes to the Black Bear. It was quite chilly sitting outside as the wind had picked up a bit. The beer was good and the food was excellent. We decided that " English Lore " from the Gritchie Brewery was our favourite.
The Pub is just a few metres from NCR 2 so there were lots of cyclists ( and runners ) about. It was great to sit in a Pub Beer garden with friends, having a natter, a few beers and a nice meal. We've booked a table for next month as it's such a pleasant day out with the scenic train journey and a quiet village Pub.
Arriving home we found a large box on the doorstep, flowers, champagne and chocolates from a friend.
I resisted the temptation to carry on drinking, always difficult if you've had a few, but I did make myself a cheese and crisp sandwich with mayonnaise 😁
