Jane was up in the smoke so Isabel and I went to burn off some energy at Reculver. We stayed about 10 minutes before the bitter wind turned us around. Bitter? Yes please. The pub was busy. Blokes sitting about chatting, watching sports scores, drinking beer - just what a pub is all about. I went outside and sat in the garden and froze whilst Isabel did a 2 minute circuit of the play equipment.

The plan had been to stop here for Sunday lunch, midway along a coastal walk. But at 12:30 there were no available tables and it was a bit too chilly to sit outside. So, a quick pint and onwards.

Gloriously hot day. After sitting on the beach for some time it was clearly time to re-hydrate.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goody Ales - Bleangate Brewery - Good Health | 3.60 | | Really exceptional. Condition was excellent and the depth of flavours in this 3.6% beer was superb. Leafy zingy hops with a hint of cotton-candy on the finish. |

Hot weather brought out the retired and those on holiday. I didn't fancy the beer selection having come from the Shipwrights so I stuck to the coke.

After spending most of the day watching Scooby Do on DVD it was time to go out. The pub was heaving but we got a bench near the play area and, whilst Isabel played, listened in on the chatter of holiday makers.

|---|---|---|---|
| Wantsum - More's Head (previously 3.4%) | 3.50 | | Really excellent. Tart fruit, lemon rind and some grapefruit |
