Fullsome weekender

Well I say full, full of pubs really. Friday night we stayed in, so as to have more energy for going out on Saturday. We had a trip to Canterbury in the day (and you'll never guess where we had lunch), no actual christmas shopping, but we went in a c...

Weekend good

Pubs kind of quiet, we went in The Clifton on Friday though, so to be expected. Apparently "the band" (assuming this is Megadeth, though it could have been the support, or roadies, or even just fans) were staying there on Wednesday night and were in ...

Clifton Hotel

Rumour has it that my great-great-grandmother purchased the Clifton Hotel for my grandmother (Mavis Gordon, nee Lyne-Smith) and her husband, Kenneth Gordon, to run. Can anybody substantiate this?

How am I letting this slip now I have more time on my hands..?

Is that another week with nothing to say? Been a bit busy with all the eating and drinking and partying surrounding the wedding. Never mind the happy couple, let's have a picture of Clare and I looking all scrubbed up:Can I remember precisely what I'...

My last day as a single man

Blee, kind of glad I'm not working today. Went to The Clifton last night, then everyone came back here to play pool until 4am. I don't think we'll be doing that today, not feeling all that clever.

Reporting in...

NICE weekend again, a quiet Friday night in front of the telly for a start. Going to bed early in the week, it feels a bit like we should go wild and crazy out somewhere, but it's nice to get in at the end of the week and relax knowing we don't have ...
