☀️☀️☀️ It’s October and STILL b**r garden weather!!!

🪴🪴🪴 Can’t beat a proper b**r garden!!!

🍺🍺🍺 Maybe it’s the smell of the freshly cut grass… Maybe the bird song… Maybe a bowl of home made chips Or maybe it’s just a cold refreshing pint… Whatever it is, you can’t complain when you can still enjoy it in October!!!

That's Keira, one of the pub's resident dogs on the front cover!!!!

That's right, Cara, the landlady, has been learning slr photography for a little while now, and last Christmas she had fun setting up this scene and bribing the dogs into poses with treats. The pictures that came from that session were incredible.

She entered this one into a Christmas Card competition and won!!! So you can now buy Keira 'from the Old Black Horse' Christmas cards, and support a great cause whilst doing it...

Buy the cards here... https://humaneresearch.org.uk/product/santa-paws-pack-of-10-christmas-cards

(P.s I'm probably going to get into trouble for posting this here... But I don't care... She should be very proud...)
