Wedding Anniversary

It was our 36th wedding anniversary on Monday so I took Sandra out for a bit of a special celebration.

Yes - to The Baiting House - for a pint of HPA and a glass of white wine - for only £5.20.

They don't do food in the Bait on Monday Tuesday or Wednesday - and there's not much in the way of entertainment - and the landlord can be a bit grumpy. (Mark did buy us a drink when he knew we were in celebration mode. So he's not that bad)

We usually visit on Wednesdays (for crib) and Sundays (for respite after a busy week-end) so this was a real treat - to go to the Bait on a Monday!

When we arrived we met Bruce, Neil,  Gerald and Tyrone - who had all been there on Sunday. Nevertheless,  an interesting conversation ensued covering topics such as last Saturday's lawn mower racing results, the big music do on Saturday night, the old class mates who last week turned out for Neil's school reunion  - and what different directions their lives had taken. This could easily have spun off to the meaning of life (& more) but we reigned ourselves back to discuss floods in New York, and golf.

I enjoy a pub visit when conversation is the main point of the evening.  Sandra was okay as after 36 years she has learned not to get too excited when I offer to take her out!
