The Anonymous Widower

An Objective in Life!

Last night, I was writing to a friend about the pubs near to my new house.  I said the following.

My local is just four doors away, but it needs educating.  All it serves is crap upside-down lager and chemical cider.  But there are a few Adnams pubs within a few minutes walk.  And most Adnams pubs serve the best cider in the world, Aspall, which has been crafted in Suffolk since 1728.

Perhaps my first objective in life is to celebrate their tri-centenary.  I’ll only be 81!

I used to worry that because my father and his father died so young, that I might suffer the same fate.  But now I’m more optimistic, especially as I’e found out that most of my grandfather’s brothers and my mother and both grandmothers, lived either well into their eighth decade or even into their ninth.

So perhaps, it’s an objective I stand a chance of fulfilling.  I’m certainly going to give it a good shot!
