The location of which I speak
http://www.beerintheevening.com/pubs..._Hotel/Deganwy
'Twas the village where I wus upbrought. For many a year, I've lived in
LE11, so far from the sea and my yacht.
Once upon a time, I could get Home Ales Mild here - a former nectar for
me - alas, S & N did their worst and killed Home Ales. Now, I rarely go
to the pub, just to the monthly meeting of the Share Club that I set up
about 8 years ago and perhaps also once a month as a change, though
there are few folk there from the old skool!
