Didn't a cartoon character used to say that? Well, mine hasn't improved in the last ten days so today's car trip was to Ormskirk walk in centre. And what a great job they do there! I saw a triage nurse, a physiotherapist and a GP and was in and out in less than an hour. The good news is that I don't have gout, merely an inflammation of the big toe. Slightly less good news is that I may have the beginnings of a bunion forming, though this is ten to fifteen years away from being a problem. So I'm now on super strength Ibuprofen gel three times a day plus oral painkillers as required. Unfortunately this may take quite a while to subside but there's nothing else I can do but carry on as normal as possible.
So, with that in mind, we did a bit of shopping for tonight's tea, had a pub lunch at the Hopvine in Burscough then drove out to our favourite pub ever, Fifteens @ the Fox in Roby Mill.
We love it here, good food and beer selection (though we only had a drink today) plus decor and atmosphere that suits us down to the ground. Every room has an open fire and the instructions are just feel free to put as much wood or coal on as you like.
If you are into country pubs, real ale, proper food, a character filled venue with friendly staff (and -today - Reggie, a very friendly dog!) why not give it a try?
