I had a drink with a cool guy called Peter at The White Horse the other night. I found out that the pub has an interesting story to it, documented next morning here on my iPhone. Bob Walsh is the barman there who told me all about it. Forgive amateur footage and goofy interjections - I only had 10 mins filming and an hour editing.

Nathan, I've wandered over from George Szirtes' blog. Who is the woman "who died a year ago"? I couldn't quite catch the name.
The poet was previously, as you'd guess, in a similar precarious state and was rescued by a man called Milton 'with his winking needle' who, it seems, just happened to be on hand.
Hi Gwilym, thanks for stopping by. If I remember correctly, the woman was Aeronwy Thomas-Ellis, his daughter... apologies that the footage isn't all that clear. And good health to you!
Ah yes Aeronwy. She died recently. I've got a chapbook of her poems in a box somewhere: Rooks and Ravens I think it's called. It has several photos of the family. We shared a publisher. I've now linked to your interesting blog via my followers list.
Thanks, Gwilym. A pleasure to make your virtual/digital acquaintance!
