Quod oculus meus videt

A Late Lunch

It was getting towards sunset as we walked out of the pub after a lovely afternoon with friends. The waters colour is unnatural, one of those colours that surely could only be caused by the addition of a dye, but it was further amplified by the late light in the sky.  

We got married and had our wedding reception at this location almost 35 years ago, when it was a country club.  I’ve also seen it completely overgrown and the building derelict after it closed down in the early 2000s. On that occasion I was meeting a developer who had plans to redevelop the buildings into apartments and erect additional properties in the car park area.  I’m glad that in the end a company came in and turned it into a country pub. It will always have a special place in our hearts.
