They do have tables outside if you want a bite to eat." He glanced up at the sky. "Bit nippy with that wind and all, but it's sheltered in the beer garden." "Well, since we'll both miss the midday meal at Bellehaven, I think a sandwich and a glass of cider would be very nice." "Right you are, m'm." Reggie grinned at her.MoreLess
