So inspiring as always Chelsey. I love English pubs too. In Australia it is all bright and breezy beach bars (which are great), but when we go on our yearly trip to England (Hubby’s family live in Dorset), I go straight to my favourite pub. I love them, the low ceilings, the cosy atmosphere. There is nothing like it in Aust. I’ve even been to the pub in Scotland of the corner of the street where my G-G-G-G granfather lived when he left for Australia in 1854.

They seem such a centre of local social life that you must have found it very hard to resist.

I am going to save your piece and read it again later as I find your words so helpful, thank you. x
