Review of my local pub, The Fawcett Inn at OxygenKiosk.
Now I've got a bit of my energy back I can start babbling about what happened over the weekend.
Well in a nutshell it was a really good weekend, Colin, Lahnee, Abby and myself spent much of Saturday in the sun. This involved lying in the sun, eating vast amounts of garlic bread, pizza and ice cream in temperatures that were in the mid 30's!! Just not heard of in England(well up North).
Around 8pm and after nine hours of soaking the sun up we were getting low on supplies and feeling pretty mashed. So to recharge our batteries we headed off to the Fawcett Inn, which is a short five minute walk away. Yes, the pub is actually called 'The Fawcett Inn'. It's a great pub in a mad way, never come across anything quite like it. Its full of people you read about in travel books or a tale from a friend who went to Thailand for a year. You know the stories that start off, "I went into a bar one night, and there was an old man with dreadlocks, sitting cuddling a pint, called himself Teardrop and looked like the psychadelic 60's are still cursing through his veins." Then there's the other side, hippies, reclaim the streets, new age hippies, anarchists, nihlists, greenpeace, a place where all the 'alternative' people meet. It's class, it's like something you see on films, a little oasis of a bar where the music is cool (at times), the people are mad (but friendly) and the place has just got an atmosphere that makes you smile.
Anyway, Colin and Abby went to dance to some god awful hard house techno rave shitty music in the back and Lahnee and I stopped where we were and had a drink. After a short while it was time to leave, and off went to the Co-op to get a few more cans and some munchies, then back to ours.
From here it all goes a bit mad, three of us (me, Lahnee and Colin) spent the night in the garden. From about 10pm to 8am the next day, it was great, just sitting around talking about crap and listening to music :)
Sunday was spent catching up on the sleep and just lazing around in the sun, I've done nothing this weekend but catch the sun, and listen to music but I loved it! Had excellent company and a good weekend.
