A Friday evening in the Oxfordshire Countryside

12.7.2019 by Ralph Morton

Some time last year I posted a picture of me visiting a public house (Kneipe in the UK) called “The Bear” which is near a friend of mine’s house.

On Friday 5 July I was visiting my friend for an evening watching DVDs and eating Pizza! But first we visited “The Bear” to see the changes under the new management.

There is now new sign next to the bear claw, and if you look closely it is very much a Polar Bear.

The sign is a welcome one to a thirsty traveller. Umbrellas are a necessary part of life in Britain, even in this warm Summer. Where better to leave them than with a bear!

BN was of course with us and looking forward to drinks and pizza.

As you can see BN’s nose is quite white these days from sharing our beers in the evening.

The bar also has a bear, again in wood to welcome visitors.

In fact as we were thirsty after a longish drive, I ordered mineral waters. BN was quite disappointed!

Later, we opened the bottles of Staropramen at my friend’s house. One of his lovely cats came into the Kitchen. She does not drink Staropramen! I was sitting in her favourite chair!

The rest of the evening was passed with Pizza, DVDs and Staropramen!
