It was a lovely day on the 8th December 2021with the weather bright and crisp, and the NERDS all travelled to Lewes to meet Sandyballs. The Bish had gut rot
from too much pre Christmas indulgence, Paco was in werewolf mode having failed to find his razor Laf was a bit tired as usual and Froggy
was....Froggy.
S. B. was late but met us in the cafe opposite The Gardeners (handy!)
where all the Lewes Yummy Mummys congregate to drink their lattes and eat their vegan sandwiches. Paco had a mulled wine with a flake
in it which he found was actually a cinnamon stick - don't chew this!
It seemed a shame to bypass the Gardeners
so we didn't. A kind man gave up his table for us so we could spread out and drink our pints.
Off then round the corner to get the bus to The Halfway House
where we woke up the landlady as usual this time of year and had a pint of Old while sitting round a round table. Froggy and Paco drank rum
.
After this over the fields, a very pleasant short walk although somewhat wet underfoot (luckily S.B.. had his wellies on) to the Laughing Fish where we met The Captain
who generously bought us all a drink.
Then we had a good Christmas dinner with lots of Rioja and Malbec. We were stuffed.
Luckily we were near a bus stop so got the bus back to Lewes.
S.B. dropped off at home and the rest of us went to the station where Froggy gave us his Christmas gift of ten minutes silence during the train journey. What bliss!
Lafayette.
