Ice cold lager in rural pubs in Sussex – what could be better?

There are plenty of bitter drinkers in my favourite Sussex pubs, but for me nothing comes close to the thirst-quenching qualities of lager, especially when it’s served ice cold. Even in the depths of a harsh winter I would still choose lager over bitter. It’s a simple choice for me.

I recently became the proud and happy owner of a slightly crazy border collie puppy, and he and I will be enjoying long walks in the countryside for the next few years, I suspect. And the good news for me is that there are plenty of dog friendly pubs in Sussex for when we want to stop awhile.

There’s something wonderful about the British summertime these days, and I suspect one of the reasons for this is the way we embrace al fresco dining and drinking. I know a guy who drives all day, travelling from home to home to provide the best Maytag repair Kent could offer, but as soon as he has time he’ll be in the garden of his local Sussex gastropub.

I think I would still love relaxing outdoors even if I worked outside all the time. I think even if I worked in landscaping in Scotland I would still want to head out into the garden when I got home at the end of a summer’s day working. I just love that feeling of the sun on my back.

I was chatting to someone recently at a party, and we had a very interesting conversation about the therapeutic qualities of sunshine. She’s a healthcare professional specialising in Sussex therapy for people suffering from depression, and she told me that some patients improve in summer and suffer more in winter. I can understand that totally.

If I was forced to work indoors all the time I think I would soon be looking for another job. A neighbour of mine is perhaps the finest local electrician Horsham people could ever want, but even though he’s extremely successful he still takes time out on a regular basis to sit outside and recharge hos batteries of life.
