Are we still looking at a meal on the Saturday night. If so, both pubs, the Manifold In n and the Charles Cotton are similar distances. Depending what sort of grub you are looking for, the Charles Cotton possibly has the edge.

I had to laugh, the Manifold Inn has a list of pub classics, i.e. Morrocan Chickpea Curry. Not a pub classic in my book.

 

[Hutch]

Hi there folks, I would like to think that a Saturday evening in one of the pubs would be nice, but NO One is forced to do anything they are not comfortable to do , the covid virus has not disapeared.
A well spaced Jacobs table on the Sunday I hope can happen, lets get to Upper Hurst and we can decide, I shall check out the pubs, maybe with Thingys help , and anyone else and advise what would be best.

Lets keep ourself safe.

Very envious 😥😥

 

[Thingy]

Im sure we can manage a recce between us Hutch

 

[Dustydog]

I wonder if we need a Sir Ale Taster knight or Lady?😁😁

 

[Thingy]

Can we amend that to an ale tasting night?

 

[Mel]

A Jacobs table of shared food may not feel OK for those with extra Covid vulnerabilities. So how about we replace the food with bottles of ale/whisky/Prosecco and just bring our own Sandwiches? Sanitise hands between pourings of course.

Mel, I think that is a very sensible idea, lets go with that for now, and although it might be low profile lets not upset anyone,
I Will talk to folk about it when we all arrive.
Thanks for inputs.

Whatever you plan for this jaunt is OK by me, just give me a heads up as to what you decide, just be gentle with me.

We will raise a glass to you DD. And if the Jacobs Table goes liquid, probably more than one glass.

I have to go and get the Buckfast, for the "Toasting" , a local supply found.

 

[Thingy]

Buckfast, isnt that where the monks live?

 

[Hutch]

Yes, but it is the toasting drink for The Woosie King,
There is a lot you have to learn, No single leg trousers though. Or sheepskin Gauntlets.

 

[Thingy]

Buckfast, wine or mead?

Thank goodness for that, if you ask me to stand on one leg Ill probably fall over, and not from the drink.

You are correct, Monks live at Buckfast Abbey approx 8 miles from me, and produce the wine.
Traditionally I purchased and supplied the fest's for the toasting of the new King or Queen.
I couldnt make it last year but managed to purchase some, meet up with Dusty dog and he took it along to last year's fest.

Nice to know and a comfort to know King Hutch has sourced a supply .

Problem is I suspect you wont get any ...............Hutch would have downed the lot

I used to go to Buckfast Abbey for bee keeping courses run by Brother Adam an old German monk who was a world authority on bees. The courses also included how to use the products of the hive. I paid particular attention to the lesson on how to make Mead. Yummy.

Glad the seasonal is going well, it is a super area. My 29 year old grandson has invited me out on Wednesday to go for a walk with him and his Visla. I think the family feel I need more social contact.
