Bobbie, five of us,all thats left of our sea fishing club, have a week-end away every year.We stopped in the Schooner for three nights and did nothing all week end but tour the area and drink. Visited Seahouses and Berwick, called in at the place we used to stop at, The Black Bull in Lowick, then diverted into Craister and ordered a load of kippers. In regards to the Irish pubs one of the places we visit every couple of years is Cobh and thats another place where most of the pubs have managed to stay as pubs we particularly like the Roring Donkey partly I think because of the name but mainly it's a good old fashioned pub
