Pleasant Evening

The Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen headed north to the heathen wastes of Surrey. There just across the county border from Blessed Sussex nestled the village of Chiddingfold where we had arranged to meet with the Gorse Fox’s sister and her husband.
Our last such meeting was at The Swan, but this has now gone into administration. Shame as the food was excellent the night we went there (even if the proprietor was a little bizarre).

With the Swan no longer available, this time we met at The Crown. It is a 17th Century Inn and meets every pre-conception of such an establishment – wonky timbers, friendly atmosphere, panelled rooms and generally a welcoming atmosphere. The service was excellent but not intrusive and food was exceptional.
We had a lovely evening and resolved to return.
Gorse Fox noticed as he drove back home that down near the sea we have some daffodils in bloom. Spring can’t be far away.
