Ach.
After finding out quite late that a TFL strike was happening today, we'd started to look at alternative routes. Either Reading-Gatwick or Southampton-Brighton.
We decided that we'd think about it later and, meanwhile, popped off to Marthas for a game and some beer.
As always, this small, but perfectly formed venue is welcoming and doing what we want - serving great beer.
It's a very easy place to be in whether it's empty or part full. The staff always catch up with us like we saw them yesterday and when I ask them how things are going - I genuinely want to know and am really cheering them on.
This morning the TFL strike is off but something weird seems to be going on between Reading and London. So we chickened out. Himself is very keen on the Southampton route and and even wre we to do Reading-Gatwick there would inevitably be knock-on problems. So we've decided we can't be doing with the hassle today and are heading back tomorrow instead.
Barley Mow looks odd-on for this evening, I reckon.
