I suppose you can tell we are middle-aged! Or are we just citizens of our time? I first met Neil in July, and we went for a walk. We've been doing lots of walks since. All very healthy and responsible! I suppose in my 20s, I would instead have done lots of pub visits. And the same for Neil’s 20s.
Have we been entirely pub-free for these eight months? No! We once went for a pub meal before a walk. I think he had a meal that was actually cooked there, but mine was clearly just from the freezer and the microwave. That was a bit disappointing. Neither of us was having alcohol if I remember correctly. Not the sort of pub visit I would have recognised in my 20s. And the same for a drink we had after a walk. We both had one alcohol-free beer!
Have I been entirely turned off pubs and alcohol? No! So I thought it would be nice to go to the pub together one day. And after the Borders League race, I actually felt like having a beer. So we headed down the hill. At the foot of the Orme there is the King's Head, which advertise itself as Llandudno’s oldest pub. A fine venue for the occasion!
It was indeed lovely! The pub has a classic interior, with a huge fireplace that we were sitting near, and they had local beer on tap. What's not to like! And I only had one, but I did enjoy relaxing with an actual beer after strenuous exercise earlier that day. Maybe we'll go more often!
