Hope to see a few fellow members enjoying the rivers Simon and Katie Went to The New Inn last night for the first time in a long time now that dogs are allowed inside. The food was very good with a decent menu. There are so many pubs nowadays with a very basic menu blaming staff shortages and covid. Prices are reasonable as well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CambridgeCabby Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 A stormy , windy evening but I slept soundly obviously not assisted by the few pints of Jumper I sampled in the Maltsters last night , which in case you didn’t know is closed on Monday and Tuesdays until April . Up bright and early this a.m. and the clouds seem to be moving on so fingers crossed . Katie awoke me with a cup of tea and a bag of goodies for my birthday (my 21st ), a new warm bathrobe which immediately went on , a boat log book, some sweeties , fudge and some of my ridiculously pricey favourite aftershave from Penhalligans . Katie also has ordered some new ropes and ball fenders for Pipedreams for me too Destination today , not far , ending up in Horning as we are booked into the New Inn this evening 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for that good review, and a belated happy birthday. It's best to give good reviews these days, or not at all. I have just been reading in the papers that a grandmother and her grandchild were thrown out of a hotel by the police in Georgia, U.S., in the middle of the night, as they had given it a bad review on Hotels.com. Members should be advised not to give a review of their hire boat until after the end of the week! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
