Portland Street Pedalling — or not

First ride of the sea­son — due to call first at The Ebor in Bish­op­thorpe. I cycled out there early in order to eat, our kit­chen under­go­ing renov­a­tion, and enjoyed an excel­lent poached had­dock in cream sauce with prawns. The chips were good — veg a little dis­ap­point­ing — over­cooked in the Eng­lish man­ner. The SAm Smiths bit­ter was well kept and cheap.  

Over the course of an hour or so I was joined by two ped­al­lers, one of whom had come on the bus and the other by car.  Although the Ship at Acaster Mal­bis was on the itin­er­ary, we agreed that a retreat to the Wel­lie was much the best plan. And at £1.35 a pint, who can beat it ?  Cosy as ever.
