Visited 2nd October 2011.
It's that time of year again. Time for a Waggy Walk. The venue has changed to Highbury Fields, North London this year so we have a completely different choice of pubs to visit. Our friend with the dog lives in Hammersmith, us with the car, don't. So we are up early, SatNav lady is geared up to do her job and we set off with plenty of time in hand. As usual, things don't quite go to plan and by the time we have collected our passengers we make it to the walk site with only a few minutes to spare. As it turns out the walk doesn't start on time so our breathless march from the wrong end of the north field to the right end of the south field was completely unnecessary! Unlike last year, this year we had hot, sunny weather so it was with some relief when we completed the walk and were able to tack on the final few hundred metres to the pub. The pub was very busy but I was served quickly and took the drinks outside (assistance dogs only). It was a bit to hot to stand outside so we quickly finished our drinks and after I had made a quick visit to the loo (nice goldfish bowl style sinks) we were on our way back through the park to the car. After dropping our guests back in Hammersmith we head for home. Hmm, Mrs S. wants a dog... Whatever will our cats say?
