Good evening, It's been a rather nice week. The first half I was sleepless in London, with Misadventures in Fitzrovia (I got trapped in a tube train door), whilst purusing very elegant people's fashion creations, and visiting more often than not, Greene King Pubs. In one of them, at one point I felt I had one foot in 1941, people were dressed accordingly to the time, you could sense the angst of the period, and I felt like I had to tell everybody that everything-will-be-ok, it was like a period film drama only to be befuddled whilst doodling with rambles, when a 70s B-movie starlet walked into the pub in stark contrast Bohemia. The next day, foot-weary, we made it to the Lore of the Land, with outstanding food, and very tempting on the shelf behind the bar, Rosemaund Wh**ky, as seen in Guy Ritchie's The Gentlemen, it's bloody brilliant the current series, so is the wh**ky.
Returning to the White Swan in the second half of the week, where the world is much more quiet and we're Betwixt the Ghosts, I did wonder how Sunday night films would look on the big screen Barton cinema-camera style, I'm guessing it would be with English Idylls - nature, art, music, literature, this is Barton afterall.
Next week, just to remind you we're CLOSED TUESDAY, for reasons only the Cranberry Wren knows, excepting we're preparing for the post apocalyptic economy, where breweries are being closed because ale is on the decline apparantly - absolutely not, the future of proper pubs is about tradition and futurism. Here at The White Swan, life is beautiful for our Patrons, and worthy of being lived magnificently, with independent ales, c***ries and fabulous wh**ky.
Theirafter the Tuesday closure, when all-being well, technically-difficult-issues will be finally solved and, we can with beauty of expression, take The White Swan into a new dimension and rock the world, purely because of your continued support and my staffs dedication. A truly sincere thank you to all of you - Lisa
