One of the things I've missed most during Lock-down v.1 and Lock-down v.2 is seeing friends and family. One of the last social engagements I enjoyed prior to retreating in-doors was with Terry. Every few months we treat ourselves to a lunch in town followed by a tour of the local hostelries.
One of our favourite haunts is a subterranean cellar called the Post Office Vaults. It has a stupendously long, and at times rather expensive, menu of bottled Belgian beers. In an effort to recreate a cyber version of our regular outings we both ordered the same crate of Belgian beer from an on-line supplier and worked our way through it while chatting on Facetime.
It was great fun, but I can't wait to see Terry again in person once the pandemic is under control.
I love the post office vaults. This, the Old Joint Stocks and the Wellington are my three favourite city centre pubs in Brum.
