Day 234: Soaked

Quiet start to our Sunday, then out for a birthday bevvie with friends. We got soaked on the way out, then the weather cleared to a sunny blue sky (as hubby's aunt always said - "It always clears up for the drinkers").

Hey Mr Robin!

An amazing Eden of a pub garden; (can you see the spiral staircase?)

For the record as we sound like we're in the pub every 5 mins, quite often we've out for a meal, or coffees or just stick to the lemonade! Ok, so maybe this time it was beer-o-clock. The social scene here is very heavily pub orientated, but they are starting to lose their pubs to sky-rocketing tax & the smoking ban snuffed out many businesses. So in a way, we're keeping a cultural identity functioning... (uh huh you say..)

 

We met in Ealing & it's regenerating itself fairly quickly from the riots, though there are some businesses not as lucky - but huge kudos to their spirit;
