A Late Afternoon in Leamington Spa

Today is not about Bier though there is one to report – just one.

Today is about Pendragon and IQ/Menel.

Leaving Appleby in good time to make an afternoon of it in Leamington Spa we became stuck in traffic on the M6 for exactly one hour outside Manchester.

We then had to find the Ibis in South Coventry off a road that was never signposted.  That the hotel was on one side of the River Sherbourne and we were in the same street on the other – but could not cross – became all the more frustrating.

Marg was hungry, we had a Big Breakfast but no Lunch.  Hector anticipated an early evening Curry so took the opportunity to sample an Ale at The Lounge.  Everard’s Sunbeam at 4.2% was decidedly bland.  A Sparkling Water would have had more impact.

It is only on Holiday, and we both felt as if we were, that Marg and Hector go Shopping.  So we did.   Leamington Spa is unique in England.  The buildings are White and so is the Population.  It is noticeable that the Ethnic Minorities are not represented.  I must look into this further, sometime.

Dumping the captures in the car which was parked at the Station we came across The Exchange.  Two Taps, both off, we left with dignity.  Across the road was Kelsey’s, only bottled Ale and so no record was made.   We saw twenty minutes of Chelsea beating Liverpool in the F.A. Cup Final before heading into The Assembly.

Here the point of the weekend becomes clear.
