Dennis Rollins at the Snape PromsAt the Snape Proms last night Dennis Rollins Badbone Co jazz/funk six piece cranked it out with us particularly enjoying Mark Ellis' alto and the band's arrangement of Stephen Stills' Love The One You're With ... a bit of Bill Withers can't be bad either ... and on the way home we got excellent freebie leftover tuck from Anglian Events at the Campsea Ashe Dog and Duck.

Campsea Ashe opposite the Dog and DuckApparently the antiques warehouse and garage in Campsea Ashe has been closed for a while, the gossip in the Dog and Duck is the site will be developed as houses ... no surprise there then.

Scarecrow advertising Larke fayreAt a near Chelmsford college in the late 1960s we sat in with a band from which we'd been sacked ... we're almost over it these days ... especially as two of the band are now dead.  We're pretty sure we annoyed jazzer Lol Coxhill by keep crashing his solos.  What goes round comes round and Lol is playing the Campsea Ashe Lark fayre tomorrow but we're not worried, we're away at the Hog Hill freeride.

des' dinners  Campsea Ashe Dog and Duck (née Talbot)

NaTCH and Tony M enjoyed the usual substantial meals (as always the liver and bacon was magnificent) and well kept Adnams.  Joined later by founder diner Andy B for just a drink, as we haven't seen Andy for at least two years there was much catching up; he's no longer a teacher at Tommy Mills, his middle child Philip is teaching English in China and Andy has bought a tandem trike.  Regrettably the Debenham Angel has closed again, reportedly the new landlords wouldn't take on the lengthy lease, the only one offered by the pubco (the evil Pubmaster/Punch Taverns?).  We had heard from Terry the D&D's landlord that his immediate predecessor Brian has passed away.  AfAR from Amanda (going out to work for a bit).  (last visit 22/05/07 ~ subsequent lunch ~ previous lunch)
