We went to Lady Bay. Got off at the embankment bus stop and walked down from there. A good test for my new knee brace. Reminds me a little of the calipers I had on my leg as a kid, made of a strong fabric rather than metal it does much the same job. It did allow me to walk further without resting. It still ached at the end of the walk, but not the crippling pain I usually have.
We went to Hobbycraft and the Range, I got a few bits and most importantly a frame for my jigsaw.
On the way back to the bus we went past The Navigation pub. Having gone past a few times we decided to pop in. I must admit from the outside we were expecting an "old man's" pub but when we got in we were pleasantly surprised to find a traditional pub, but clean and airy, with a brewery out the back. A good food menu ( including a vegan option) and very friendly staff. We will definitely call in again when we are in the area. Whereas we would normally go back over the bridge on the bus to the TBI we will go there instead. I would rather support an independent smaller brewer than a chain, basically because that was what our pub was. And these places are dying out. It's like supporting a small business rather than a huge company where we can, ( sometimes we just can't because they don't have what we need, or we can't get there)
