I don't get out to Howick often and, to be honest, that suits me fine.
But when necessity tapped me on the shoulder and told me to head east, I looked longingly at the Prospect of Howick.
It reminded me of one of those lovely old English pubs up north (perhaps even the fabled Prospect of Whitby after which it was surely named) and I had always fancied ducking for a quiet pint.
Well, I finally got the chance on a dreadful, rainy afternoon, although it wasn't the easiest place to get into.
