Early evening - a few punters glued to sports TV. Just missed happy hour - had a swift half and left. (Found some life in Dorchester at the Brewery Square later - but predominantly restaurants with no proper pub, ironically).

We had just come out of Spoons and were heading for Tom Browns and peaked through the window at the handpumps. We were drawn in by beers on offer. It was early evening anf there were a few drinkers in.
