The rusty bicycle Oxford. I really like it.

Shropshire. Flippin Eck.

Right @bsky.app I need your help. We're staying in today (sod driving 5 miles to the nearest shop in this weather) & I need a good series to get stuck into. Here, we've got Netflix & the usual UK channels.
Any recommendations? No sci-fi or Marvel or any of that, just realised stuff incl docs

I think today might be one for binging a Netflix series. We ain't going anyway put it that way 😂.
Proper snow in deepest darkest & most beautiful Shropshire. #Shropshire

I went fishing again today on holiday and this time I DIDN'T catch tiddlers. This (for non British/non fishing people) is a Chub. It is the biggest Chub I've ever caught by miles (my estimation around 5LB).

The best part of the story is I put him straight back & he swam away happily.

The Ship Inn, Highley, Shropshire. They do a carvery. Regular is £13, Large is £18, Extra Large is £22.50. I know what you're thinking, I asked the question for you.

For £22.50 you get five meats plus a half roast chicken 😂😂. Sheesh.

Bonnie the scary pub dog (she isn't scary, "Bonbon" to you & me) is getting old, really old. She often gets confused, poops everywhere & is totally deaf & nearly blind.
I just took her for a short walk over some fields & she was happy again, I could tell.
It'll absolutely destroy me when she goes.

Look, I love scotch. Not JD, Jamesons or any of that, just scotch. GOOD scotch too. A little dribble of water & I can sip it for hours, happy as Larry. If I'm staring at a roaring fire while doing it, even better.

Sometimes tho, rubbish whisky with coke & ice, wow. Today is that sometimes.

Fishing update. As predicted I caught a tonne of tiddlers, a billion bleak & a million minnows. It started piddling down & got flippin cold. Luckily Sarah had made me a flask of coffee & some sarnies, I paused for a while & had a little feast in the rain.
It was a beautiful day ❤️

The Mug House Bewdley (I'm on holiday & when that happens, I spend most of my time in pubs). A beautiful little treehouse, packed on a Friday Lunch. 3 courses £12.95, leek & potato soup, chicken & vegetable hotpot, rhubarb crumble with hot custard.
Wowza

Kinda sounds like when Blackadder was using made up words to Samuel Johnson to demonstrate that the scholar HADN'T written "every word" in the English language into his dictionary.
"Can I offer the doctor my enthusiastic contrafibularities" 😂😂

This is a new dish in our pub. It's baked gnocchi with tomato & basil sauce, melted mozzarella & a chunk of sourdough. Nothing fancy, just something you'd want to eat while sitting in front of one of our real fires in November.
