What a very nice pub the Ship is. We are so lucky to have two really good pubs in out village, they both are well kept by excellent landlords and landladies, they both keep their beer well, they both serve really decent food, they both have a lovely welcoming atmosphere to any visitors or newcomers…
We went to the quiz at the Ship, which is very different from the one we usually go to at the Dolphin. The Ship has six rounds including a picture round, and one set by the landlord, Wayne, and it also has a picture round. There must have been about a dozen teams, and we came about sixth at the end, having really enjoyed ourselves, had a lot, a lot of laughs, and drunk some fine beer.
The beer was Bluestone, a Welsh beer; I was delighted to drink it for two reasons. One because I love beer, two because Wales used not to have great breweries… I am so pleased good brewing is alive and thriving in Wales. The name bluestone may ring a bell with some people because of the bluestones at Stonehenge, huge megaliths which were somehow transported from quarries in Wales in prehistoric times… what engineers those so called primitive people were!
