Is it me!(https://i.ibb.co/jRXBrSK/IMG-20230725-154740-2.jpg) I don't have a picture or map on this one. Just the "Picked........" etc but nothing more.

Bob, Finn and I dined at the Mermaid Distillery. Although more was spent on drinks than food. Title: Re: Where was bobm today, 25th July 2023?

I looked up the Mermaid Distillery and it turns out to be in the building that was once the Wishing Well pub next to the former Pondwell campsite that I stayed at a number of times. It looks like a large proportion of the camping field is now planted out as a vineyard going by Google Maps. I heard that the Wishing Well had closed a few years ago but it's nice to hear that it's undergone something of a rejuvenation. Title: Re: Where was bobm today, 25th July 2023?

And I think the campsite has gone a bit upmarket. https://thevineyardiow.co.uk/ This page is printed from the "Coffee Shop" forum at http://gwr.passenger.chat which is provided by a customer of Great Western Railway.
