Today was the fire lighting day at the Plough and Anchor.  Traditionally the fire is lit on the 1st October every year.  Jake lit the fire, where upon the bar and restaurant was filled with smoke.  It took quite a while before the draft was sufficient to draw all the smoke up the chimney.  The fire will now remain continuously alight until spring.

We had a conker knock out competition, and Jake provided us with pies and excellent pickle onions.  It was a truly excellent Friday evening.
