Weekend in Long Itchington

Long Itchington has a proliferation of pubs, but we did not choose the best one for our Sunday Lunch.  We had agreed to eat with Sharon & Chris from Krystyl and we chose the Duck on the Pond. on the outskirts of the village as they were offering a very reasonably priced 2/3 course Sunday roast.   I booked a table on the Saturday ...........they must have thought heaven had come as we were almost the only people there!!   The lunch was mediocre and the service rather strange so definitely not recommended.   However we actually has a weekend of reasonable weather.  I was able to do some painting on the stern that had been bugging me for a while.......it doesn't bug Geoff....he doesn't seem to see it!!!!   I also managed to get a fair amount of sitting in the sun relaxing and reading...great....

Two Boats Pub

On the outskirts of Long Itchington, still for sale if anyone wants a big updating project....

Blue Lias pub situated a couple of locks up the Stockton flight.  However  although you can moor outside the pub itself (and presumably honour bound to go and have a meal) all the moorings opposite are Permit Holders only

Geoff and Barney walked up for a pint on Saturday evening and were invited to join a group of 3 people at another table.   They said they had left their Black Labrador at home so wanted to have Barneys company......

Geoff went to the Local church on Sunday morning but I stayed behind to do my painting...........................
