Thursday 29th March (A Raven, A Pie and A Pint or Two)


Mr. Kite looked out of The Joint window into a blue sky and a frosty ground. Two jays flew between the trees and magpies cackled away to each other.

Following a simple breakfast Mr. Kite and His Lady caught the bus into Bath and strolled along the paths near the River Avon. Lesser black-back gulls, herring gulls, moorhens, canada geese and a greylag were spotted.

On this warm and sunny morning lots of birds and people enjoyed the river. Sitting by the water watching the birds became thirty work so Mr. Kite and His Lady decided that it was time for The Raven. Now this raven is not a black bird or a plunderer or a prowl for prey. No this raven is a great pub in Bath.

Finding a cosy corner in the upstairs bar Mr. Kite ordered a pint of Raven and a gin and tonic, two pies and lashing of chips. Mr. Kite and His Lady then sat for two hours inside The Raven eating and drinking  wonderful food and drink. Eventually Mr. Kite and His Lady had to stop eating and drinking and return to The Joint.

Enjoying a tipple of Becks Mr. Kite and His Lady sat by the babbling brook as a wren came to join them. Cheers to The Raven, the beer, the food and the varied birds of Bath. Cheers.
