Drinking in Lewes…

Not long ago we went to Lewes for the evening with Sue’s brother and his wife. The town is a fabulous old place full of winding roads with a castle standing guard. We had taken the train from Seaford and walked across the bridge coming first to the Lansdown Arms which is a wonderful eclectically decorated pub (there is a tree inside and the music player is displayed in an old picture frame. They have a nice selection of beers on offer and we had a few before moving on up into town to The Lamb, it was still early in the evening so the place was quite empty but we could see a band setting up for a gig later on. From here we head back down and along the high street until we reached The Snowdrop, which was starting to get busy. We managed to secure a table and had a tasty meal before the band got started. Playing a variety of songs all modified into a Ska style the SkaToons kept us entertained as we consumed several more beverages. The girls danced for a while and sang backup to the songs. Eventually though we decided to make our way back, this time pausing briefly at the local brewery bar the John Harvey Tavern where we had a final top up before jumping on a train back to Seaford.


It was a very entertaining evening but the morning after was subdued and it took us quite some time to recover our former equilibrium.
