17:30 A drink with Real Ale Roger. The pub was busy with drinkers and dogs. The fish & chip van was doing good trade. Very pleasant sitting by the log fire and watching the new moon over the village green.

17:30 A meet up with our chum Real Ale Roger. Pub was busy, enhanced by people having a beer whilst their fish & chips were being cooked on the weekly visit by the mobile van.

12:00 - 13:30 A sunny lunchtime and an adjacent children's playground made this an obvious choice with my granddaughter staying with us. Fairly busy my younger son and the Landlord had a discussion about GP2 racing. I am none the wiser.

17:30 Plans for a trip to the coast were thwarted by heavy rain. Sun came out, so a walk round the village green and a couple of pints in the pub. Quiet inside but busy outside.

| Kite (see and use entry now for Glamorgan) - Dr. Price's Lemon Ale | 4.00 | | Bit dubious about lemon beers but this was superb. Full of condition, the lemon and hops made for a very refreshing pint. |
| XT Brewing - 1215 Magna Carter | 4.20 | | Served on gravity. Tasty, but as flat as a pancake. The spelling error was on the pump clip, but the brewery web site shows it spelt correctly. Strange. |

12:30 A Sunday lunchtime drinking in a pub without any food. Wonderful.

14:10 Second stop. Saw a chap I used to talk to in the Kings Head New Buckenham who told me the pub is going to re-open in February. Good news. The pub was surprisingly busy for a Thursday lunch time.
