Hard to believe it's over a month since I updated the blog. To be honest there's not much new to report. I've spent the last month moored at various spots on the river between St Ives and St Neots and managed to catch up with a few old friends while in the area.
I have come to love the reopened Falcon Inn in Huntingdon. This pub is in a 16c building in the market square which was used by Oliver Cromwell as a HQ. They serve only cask beers, a few craft lagers (non of the fizzy pop variety) and a selection of ciders. The welcome is very friendly as are the locals and I strongly recommend a visit or two.
The pub has a lovely garden which is the real reason Paul and I called in to get some planting tips. We only ordered beer to be polite. We were very polite.
In fact the garden was so good I had to show it to Malc, Trevor and Gareth too. We were also very polite - in fact so polite I had a headache the next morning.
It was great to catch up with these guys who made my time in Jaguar and Adour so enjoyable. I didn't spend all month in the Falcon, just most of it, for an injection of culture I had an enjoyable day exploring the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge where they have a exhibition of bronzes which, as you can see, are modelled on myself.
