PUB TALK
It is a freezing (literally) cold winter day, but PUB has just returned from a short ride to one of the local Sunday motorcycle haunts, where, surprisingly, there were still riders enjoying a breakfast or just a cuppa. Actually PUB is very lucky because there are two such popular places quite nearby, the ‘Super Sausage’ and ‘Jacks Hill Café’, situated a little south and just north of Towcester respectively on the A5 trunk road.
