Yesterday (Saturday 18th September 2009), I had pre-arranged to meet a good friend for some heavy refreshment in The Salutatation in Doncaster. The Salutation is a real ale pub that is close enough to the town centre without having the intrusion of the people who just want to get trollied that you get in town on a regular evening.
I met my buddy at 12 noon and we started supping our regular, Koppaberg Pear Cider. However, this soon ran out and we had to move on to Magners Pear Cider. Now there is only so much Magners you can drink before you float away from all the gas, so we moved on to Black Bushmills.
During the course of the afternoon, my Sister dropped in to give me a 'good luck' card, which was really nice and totally unexpected. It was lovely to see and chat to her. We are a pretty close family (unless we are falling out-haha). She stayed for a couple of drinks before she went shopping, but she left a tenner for a round-waayhaay!!!!
The day was lovely. A bit of cloud, but the sun was shining and it was warm. After my mate departed in the early evening, I had a couple more Bushmills, a couple of pints of Hobgoblin and a chat with one of the regulars before going home in a somewhat slightly inibriated condition-haha! A good day in all and a memorable final day in Doncaster. Cheers to all, slainte!
