Food, booze and music make a happy time and damn good poetry.

Sounds wonderful. Made me think of a lovely little town by the river in Portugal I visited once.- very slow and laid back little place, where you spend hours outdoors, eating, drinking and people watching.

Yes just like that apart from the sun lol! Many thanks Laura.

Sounds ideal, but not today. Cold and very windy. Plenty of white horses in Devon when I left. On the right day, though your river view and pasty and pint would be splendid.

Have eaten pasties on many a day, including bright sun and raging storm. Love em!

makes me want to be there ... had to google the Inn and surroundings ... what a great looking place!!! i grew up unruly and stayed that way until into me late 20s ... i don't think i have the right picture of a pasty ;) reading Grace's review i surmise it is a relative of a donut ... your senryu paints with lots of flavors says i!

Thanks 'E'. A pasty is associated with Cornwall in the SW of England. Beautiful place. It is seasoned beef and vegetables in a pastry. Delicious with a pint! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasty

ahhhhhhhhhh not quite as exciting as my "pasty" in remembrance .. but sounds delicious .. like a pot pie ... going to check out the link now .. thanks!!! :) yummy! ;)

wow! its like the National Dish for cryin' out loud!! how cool is that ... if miracles happen (and they do) i will visit the Inn and eat one .. and most likely more ;) it has Protected Geographical Location status ... holy moly! how positive to celebrate such a simple dish ... and elevate it to such status ... energy well placed and used says i! much better than violence

The thing is John, was the pasty homemade or a 'Greg's' special? I've never been to Cornwall but I know what a beautiful place it is.

No it is always local. Nothing like it!
