Too many good pubs, too few hours...

As I look back on more than a year of visiting pubs, many of them superb, I just want to thank all the hard-working landlords and landladies who are running some of the finest pubs in the world in North Devon and Torridge, often for not much money and with quite a bit of hassle. In a nutshell: Long live the local! Good luck to you all in 2010.
