Now that's very much my kind of perfect day out - we should ban all
petrol ran transport as well and only use horse carts, bikes and err...
wheelbarrows. But pubs should remain open without question )

Which reminds me, does anyone heard or have a 'Wassailing' event near
him or her? I'm very intrigued about this ritual as it sounds
wonderful. Planning trips for next year )
