Black Bull Hotel

This is a sorry sight in the village of Killearn. The Black Bull was a popular venue for centuries until a few years ago, when it was sold and renamed Killearn Hotel. It closed after a few years, looking rundown, and is now just an eyesore. To the locals, however, it'll always be the Black Bull.

I was in Killearn to play badminton for the first time since before Christmas... and it showed! I sincerely hope it was just rustiness and not a deterioration in my eyesight that caused the shuttle to miss my racket so frequently! *sigh*
