TB

Just before lock-down kicked in, TB - otherwise the Blenheim or the Blen - a Greene King house, the Greene King which was once an East Anglian brewer and is now owned by someone from Hong Kong - had decided to expel the afternoon van trade in favour of a beer garden out front.

Umbrellas have now readied for the big day tomorrow. I shall not enter, but I shall try to remember to cruise past at some point to see how things are getting on. And  while I think of it, what about smoking?

Note the jumping horse on the pub sign. A source of great offence to the formerly regular trade, people who knew horses from the racing pages of their newspapers and who were irritated by the suggestion that the one-time winner of the Epsom Derby might go over the jumps. It offended their sense of what was right.
