The decor was subtle and suited the building. The atmosphere was warm and totally relaxed. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The comfy chairs in the bar area is a great idea. Outside area looked great. We cant recomend highly enough. We will definetly be going there regularly. we also had a fantastic flavoured, cooked, presented and well portioned meal at the black horse.

It just shows what a little corner of paradise they are! The waiting list for plots will get even longer when residents see these. Excellent photographs of the allotments Mr Webmaster.

]]> Comment on A Follow-up to Saturday’s Balloon Story by Lois Clark http://drydrayton.wordpress.com/2009/08/14/a-follow-up-to-saturdays-balloon-story/#comment-41 Lois Clark Sat, 15 Aug 2009 19:09:20 +0000 http://drydrayton.wordpress.com/?p=112#comment-41 Thank you for contacting Virgin Balloon Flights and publishing the full response from the Pilot, who obviously has to expertly cope with the different winds and the element of chance. The air balloons are certainly colourful in our skies and, I am sure we are all glad that this particular one landed safely to a warm welcome. There are a number of villagers who did get close photos even viewing the passengers - it will be interesting to see any pictures that were taken. I wonder if any of the passengers on the balloon got shots of our "delightful" village or its inhabitants?

Somebody is up earlier than me! Should keep a camera handy by the bed! So glad it made it. Dangerously low over our bungalow garden at top of High Street and I wasn't prepared for early morning visitors! Well done whoever got the picture of the balloon climbing into the sky.

So - if you want to use the Cambridgeshire Collection - get in there this week before it is all packed away to be moved.

Can we all try to get there for opening night just to show our support to the new landlord? My partner and I are quite excited by the prospect of having a village pub once more. We live in Scotland Road so it's a bit of a trek, but a village with no pub is like, well, a village with no shop or post office - and we all know what that's like.
