Yesterday mrs maytrees and I ventured to Portsmouth and Southsea for lunch with old friends who had acquired small flat there in an old military barracks. Southsea is conveniently situated at the southern end of the A3 trunk road.
Their barracks now appears thus :
Weather was warm and dry though thunderstorms had been forecast. En route to our lunch venue we passed by Portsmouth Cathedral, which to my taste is not especially attractive
We arrived to an old Fullers pub just on the sea front where our friends had booked a table for the four of us.
The pub fare was excellent with my lunch being a tasty fish pie followed by some raspberry water ice. During lunch however the Prince of Wales aircraft carrier came up close and personal to the pub, presumably on its way to join its sister carrier HM Queen Elizabeth which was already in the naval dock.
Following lunch we took a stroll along the empty beach, before driving home after a great day away..jpg)
