We went for a " ramble " last Thursday. NERDS are ever dwindling and Matt always seems to be on a cruise somewhere so we were reduced to Paco, Froggy, Sandyballs et moi.
We all met at The Steamworks,
the cafe cum pub next to Seaford railway station. This place is of course very handy to get to, and saves having to drive when drinks are involved.
After a few coffees and Kraken rums
(Froggy's favourite drink) we found that they served a beer brewed locally by Roger Daltrey of Who fame.
This was quite delicious so we had a couple of these and pondered going on a ramble somewhere, Froggy had a route planned that involved getting the bus to Eastbourne and then walking around somewhere. Unfortunately after a couple of Roger Daltrey
Specials nobody felt inclined to go anywhere - so we didn't.
Instead we "rambled" down the road to The Plough,
the Seaford pub nearest the churchyard where the C**ds used to assemble when Brian Atrill was alive. So with this powerful recommendation we had high expectations. It was nearly full of the local bourgeoisie and we had trouble getting a table for four! How times have changed. We used to go to a country pub, take over the whole place and not get thrown out until about 4 o'clock.
The food was good, most of us showed little imagination and had either fish and chips or scampi and chips (Old Folks' Food) plus a lot of wine and cognac from Sandyballs secret store. Then we finished off with Eton Mess, (always interesting to see how different pubs approach this).
So after all this heavy walking and drinking we went home.
