If you could select your two locals (pubs)

We are in our new cottage. It is in a small Hamlet in the Staffordshire moorlands. It is beautifully peaceful and the location is perfect. Now I know I write this as my diary to myself and hopefully a record for my children and grandchildren (any day now) of what their cranky old dad got upto. But this post does have a boaty connection. That being my two locals.

We moor at Fradley so our local is the Swan - or the Mucky Duck which it is more widely known as.

Our 'new' local is the Black Lion at Consall

I am sure you can spot the connection !
