An evening at the Moderation.

Some of the old (yes that's in years for some of us) UK Wolf Conservation Trust ex-patrons of the Spring Inn found the place where Andy and his team went after leaving the Spring. It is a pub in Caversham, Reading called The Moderation. The menu is very similar to the one at the Spring Inn...well it would be as the staff mainly went with Andy. It is well worth a visit if you remember the food at the Spring Inn, and the beer's good too. A review of the pub can be found at http://www.getreading.co.uk/entertainment/food_and_drink/s/2034985_the_moderation

Wolves were off topic for the evening. Highlight of the evening was the young, blonde, lady at an adjoining table saying "excuse me but my paper's on fire". She was standing in the middle of the bar with a blazing newspaper in her hands. She had put it too near the candle on her table. The earsplitting wail of the smoke detector was soon joined by the sound of stamping feet as the fire was extinguished. The glowing embers were only matched by the colour from her cheeks! We felt that the barman was somewhat lacking in a sense of humour by the look on his face.

For those who read my last post, the link to Porfell is www.porfellanimalland.co.uk/
while the link to Secret World is http://www.secretworld.org/

Secret World is only open to the public on special days so check out their web site. Secret World seek to boost their funds on their open days, so go along and support British wild life. Porfell welcomes visitors as you will see on their site, and is well worth a visit if you are in Cornwall for your holidays, with the credit crunch removing the option of foreign holidays for so many.
