  • I Will

    At the Flying Horse
    I said do you think you would.
    And you said I will.

    The Flying Horse in Nottingham is just a shopping alley/arcade now, but there used to be a pub of the same name on the site. It was there, on one of my early visits to the city in the 70’s, that I asked my girlfriend to marry me. She said yes, and they pulled the pub down. Make of that what you will.
    And yes, 49 years later that girlfriend is still my wife.

  • The Pub

    Huddled in warm bars,
    As night falls across the town,
    Conversation hums.

    This pub is across the road from Nottingham Castle. The night adds a touch of isolation and mystery. The group of drinkers seen through the misted window, enjoying a drink with friends (possibly) add a touch of human interest. The question is there – was it a Tuesday, and were they having fish and chips?
