Yeah - I was sorry to hear of his problems Col - I remember seeing him at your lock-up when you did my wishbone bushes. I think your mum was with him and brought you some of her own home baking?

He’s still battling on, in fact he’s sat next to me now. Some days you can still get a sensible conversation out of him, other days you just get a load of garbled nonsense........you can see where I get it from.


It’s always been a very scenic pub that

I went through a similar time with my mum, my wife's mum and an aunty and uncle - I feel for you.

When I was in my teens, we used to go to the Lion whenever there was heavy snow forecast - in the hope we'd get snowed in for a few days.
Great fun in a Moggy 1000 with about 6 of us on board

It’s horrible but there’s nowt we can do about it, just make the best of what we have I suppose.

Be a cracking place to be stranded

I love all the stories I used to hear from the farmers when I was a regular in the Plough at Mitford, all the attempts to get home with eighteen in a mini van ending up in the middle of a field & the like........they were always on their way home from “the dance”
One old timer told me of the time he’d been to a party & was trying to make his way home, obviously with too much shandy on board as was the norm back in the day, when stopped by the police & asked
“where have you been?”
“a party in Alnwick”
“And where are you going now?”
“Home to Alnmouth”
The constable gave this advice
“Well put some f!*$€#g lights on, you might stand a chance of getting there”

Chips?

Was going to post a photo of our fish & chip supper but thought that was too cruel......

Room for that second Guinness tonight?
