Old Style Weekend

All sorts of things happen when you have kids:

• Grey hairs appear almost overnight


• The chance of getting the bathroom to yourself reduce to zero


• Sitting outside a pub all day becomes a thing of the past

So, with the kids at their grandparents, it was with great pleasure that an afternoon of sitting outside pubs was planned for Friday, as it turned out the hottest day of the year so far.

A quick one in Fellow's followed by an entire session sat by the canal outside the Canalhouse.

The Canalhouse is a fantastic pub, real ale, good food and a fantastic place to chill out when the weathers good. There can't be that many pubs that have a canal running through the middle where you have to cross a bridge to get to the bar.

A brief sojourn back to reality on Saturday morning, before continuing the weekend in an old stylee, the Slug & Lettuce (which certainly isn't one of the best pubs in Nottingham) & Fat Cats both swapping beer for cash.

Chinese rice beer in the Flaming Dragon before finishing off the day in the beer garden of the BPitW.

Superb.
