A very amusing evening, lacking only in Del.
I arrived at the Royal Oak, Hazeleigh, around 8.30 to find a rather spartan pub (I'd never been there before)with a few people playing darts. About 10 minutes after me OD, Oaky & Huggy arrived, we had another pint of Preacher's and then hied us to the Queen Victoria, where Wakering Gold (I didn't know there was a microbrewery in Wakering either). Several more pints were sunk, several avenues of conversation were explored, mostly the fact that OD's & Huggy's wives think they are in a gay relationship (it's easy to see why, to be honest) and then around 11 pm, I made my excuses and left, wobbling home by a reasonably direct route, although the dogs at Flambirds Farm were quite surprised to see a cyclist at this time of night.
I saw at least three foxes and a number of moths.
