December 2023. The Humber Bridge.
Mrs RM had seen some Instagram posts of picturesque cottages under the Humber Bridge, so on the morning after Retired Martin Day we went in search of blog material for Mrs RM.
Sadly, we soon found the picturesque cottages are in Hessle, and the south bank has more earthy attractions.
I was keen for Mrs RM to join me on the 147 mile Viking Way to Oakham, but she was happy with a photo under the bridge, and coffee and flapjack in the former coastguard station.
Now, I know this is a long shot, but I’ve seen more unlikely buildings turned into micropubs or taps for Dark Tribe or whatever,
and if only Mrs RM had had that can of Worthington Smooth I might have claimed a very pre-emptive tick.
Great views, pub games, bench seating, proper coffee.
And perhaps a future pub mascot for BRAPA if he ever crosses the bridge.
