Black Swan...

There was a ‘village meeting’ a couple of nights ago, with just one item on the agenda: what to do about the village pub, which is currently closed. Though I wasn’t able to get to the meeting, subsequent entries on the village’s Facebook page - Asselby Talking - made reassuring noises. According to the pub’s owner, the Black Swan will reopen… as soon as a new landlord or landlady can be found. Fingers crossed that the village will have its pub back very soon.
