http://boakandbailey.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/yacht_inn_penzance.jpgNear the*end of last year’s wonderfully elongated summer, we managed to make like we were on holiday and sit outside the Yacht Inn in Penzance drinking lager on a still, warm evening in late September.The memory of that perfect moment got us through a gloomy winter until, last Sunday, we welcomed Spring by returning to the same table in the same pub for a few Spanish-style cañas*of St Austell’s increasingly impressive Korev.
The pub, a pleasingly*modest bit of provincial art deco, is painted white, while the granite walls of the public garden across the road (complete with palm trees) break*the breeze from the sea, giving that particular spot, around that one rickety iron table, the same dry, baking heat as a*square*in Seville even on a fairly cool day.
It was nice to drink cold beer, get warm through to our bones, and feel our foreheads turning just a little pink.
Bring on the summer — we’re ready.
