Part 2. The morning after... Woke up about 3 a.m...supped a beer and drifted nicely off to sleep:001_rolleyes:...John left about 7 a.m...it was a beautiful blue sky morning and i went for a morning stroll...This is an corner of England that is green,pleasent and unspoilt. the gently rolling hills are dotted with Oaks and neatly cut hedges...Tuckers sits at the crossroads and is named after a poor soul who hung himself in a barn a couple of hundered years ago...it is a popular haunt of the Stranglers and they are to be found there before they go on tour also frequented by the Wurzels...said goodbye to Marc and Ranger Matt who admitted that he was feeling rather unwell:001_huh: So that left just me and Eggsarascel...we both felt great! no hangover...and fit as a fiddle...we hadn,t planned to do the return journey till a couple of hours later so.......Off to Tuckers for some more Scrumpy:thumbup:

Names to faces please silky, names to faces:thumbup: looks like one hell of a night. Maybe a good thing I'm in NZ, that cider looks evil stuff, not that I'd turn down a pint.

Onions and Stilton and Cheddar (And more Scrumpy) 12 o,clock and opening time at the world,s greatest Ale house Egg by name and a Good egg by nature wnted to chill out for a couple of hours in the car so i would have time to sample more of what Somerset is famouse for and say my goodbyes to a building that i shall return to every year...one scrumpy later and the Inn begins to rapidly fill with folk armed with jars of all shapes and sizes...they placed them in a line on the table...one chap(Who had obviously been shooting that weekend as his pick up was laden with pheasent produced two large block of cheese from his camoflauged pocket....to cut a long story short..it was an onion competition and they were to be sampled and judged and they invited me to join in...i did...enjoyed a few more pints of the Orange stuff and left an hour or so later......Goodbye Tucker! see you next Xmas:thumbup: Eggsarascal was great company on the way home,in fact from the moment i met him at the Green Man he has smiled and laughed...he is a good friend and a Good Egg....doesn,t let anything bring him down:thumbup1::thumbup1: Thanks for the lift and your company Eggsy!
