Weekend sketching at the Penny Farthing Pub in Oak Bay BC. A lovely day with the sun shinning on the drinkers. Sketched with the Island Sketching group.

Left: Double Locks.
Middle: Exeter Ship Canal.
Right: Cross Country HST 43378 & 43239 head north with the 1S51 12.27 Plymouth going through to Glasgow Central. These long seven coach trains will end operations in mid September 2023. There were three HSTs passing while we were sat outside the pub in the patchy sun. This was 13.20 with the drabber green GWR four coach passing north at 13.45 and another XC going south at 13.52. I was fearing some pub punters would stroll along the path in the foreground but I got lucky.
The owner was found dead in his pub near Brittas Bay, Co Wicklow by gardaí on 19 March, 1996.
A well-known Wicklow publican, Tom had been counting up his St Patrick’s Day takings at Jack White’s Inn where he lived, when he was killed by pellets from a single close range shotgun blast.
His wife Catherine had told gardaí that she was awoken by someone “pressing her face to the pillow” and shouting at her for money.
When they arrived, they found Tom Nevin on the kitchen floor in a pool of blood.
It later emerged that about £14,600 - €16,500 currently, was taken from the pub and the Nevins’ car had been taken and was found later abandoned in Dublin. All signs pointed to a botched robbery.
Four years later, Catherine Nevin was on trial at Dublin Central Criminal Court, accused of both murdering her husband and soliciting three other men to murder him.
Mrs Nevin attempted to characterise her husband who was well liked in his community as a quiet, hard working man – as being a member of the IRA, gay and a drunkard.
On the prosecution side, it was alleged that Catherine Nevin had had affairs with a garda inspector, a judge and a convicted criminal and was said to have used her ”silken boudoir - den of sleaze” to “bed a bevy of sex-hungry men” while “plotting her husband’s murder”.
She was convicted and sentenced to life in prison and dubbed "The Black Widow"!
I had a delicious lunch in the very room yesterday and the staff were brilliant!! :)

The pub is named Volunteer Hotel because of its association with local volunteer firefighters. When the fire bell across the street rang, volunteers would gather and proceed on to the fire. Once their work was complete, they would meet at the hotel for refreshment. The hotel closed in 1928 and is now a private residence......Wikipedia

Currently sitting in pub in Bosham with a beer and my laptop editing my late mornings work. With the realisation that the undiscovered images of this very photographed village, lie right here in the pub.
The pub is a haven of warmth and comfort, its wooden beams darkened with age and history. A crackling log fire in the hearth casts flickering golden light across the room, illuminating the gleam of polished brass and the deep red upholstery of the well-worn chairs. The scent of burning wood mingles with the rich aroma of ale, filling the air with a sense of timeless contentment.
Seated by the window, I cradle a pint of amber ale, the glass cool against my fingertips. The first sip is smooth and full-bodied, a perfect complement to the comforting hum of quiet conversation around me. Outside, beyond the thick, wavy glass of the old window, the tide has drawn back to reveal glistening mudflats where wading birds pick their way through shallow pools. The sea air, heavy with salt, drifts in when the door swings open, mixing with the warmth inside.
The light flooding the sky, dusky with blacks and greys reflecting off the still water of the harbour. Boats, their masts gently swaying, rest in the shallow waters, their reflections shimmering with each ripple. Across the bay, the silhouette of Bosham church stands against the evening sky, its spire a timeless sentinel over the sleepy village.
I take another slow sip, sinking deeper into my chair, letting the moment stretch—content, warm, and utterly at peace.

Looking down Redwell Lane, Ightham, to the 'Old House' P.H. (to the left).
This remarkable pub has no visible sign outside to indicate that it is still in business, apart from two wooden casks hanging from the old inn sign frame. There is no name! Many other pubs in this area have shut. However if you go there in the evening or on Saturday or Sunday lunchtime and try the door you'll find it will open.
Its been a long time since I've drunk beer served on gravity from a wooden cask.

The Black Lion in Middle Hillgate has been long closed and converted to flats. This 1887 pub sign remains but is weathering badly.
Well this weekend sees the local pub re-opening in England, however in Scotland the time is not quite yet.. Which I say is a good thing...

My friend Allegra played at the Bucktown Pub yesterday. Nice and cozy place, great people and amazing music. If you like indie music, I'm sure you'll love her music. Check it our at www.allegramalone.com
Red sign
This is the logo of a popular brewery. (It could almost be the coat of arms for many towns in Scotland!)
I liked the contrast with the sky, and the signs of wear and tear in this image.

Once a bakery, then a wine bar. Now renamed "Fly In The Loaf, a fine pub..
The superb glazed tile exterior of the Lord Clyde in Southwark is a joy to behold. The name and trade mark of the brewers Truman, Hanbury, Buxton & Co Ltd. is proudly displayed but the company was absorbed into Grand Metropolitan empire in 1971 and then merged with Watney Mann. This proved to be disastrous for the brewery which closed in 1989. In 2010 the Truman brand was purchased by two London businessmen and in 2013 they opened a new brewery in Hackney Wick allowing Truman's beer to be stocked in a number of London pubs once again.
