Today was a sorprice to see two guys covered with hoodie and preparing a cigar , and a adult gentleman requested to them to no smoke in the area. But they reply about have the right to be there two. In the end the gentleman left a arrived three ladys and one more guy with drinks (alcoholic) we had to left like other ladie who was there. Because they looked us in certain bad way and the smell of Mariuana was bad for our littlest. The place needs a vigilant. Other way it will be not safe for our children because they just drop the empty cans /bottles there.

We went to Mycenae House to see Nine Below Zero, and the show started with Leon Tilbrook. It was a small venue but it was a fantastic night, Leon was great on the guitar and sung songs that he wrote, he is very talented performer. Then there was a short break and Nine below Zero came on it was Denise Greaves on Guitar and Mark Feltham on Harmonica, they both have a great rapport with each other. It was a great evening of blues I would definitely recommend seeing them, I had a really good foot tapping and clapping evening , and being a small venue it made it more intimate.

Pleasant community centre which houses a small cafe and a hall for local plays and events. Hall can comfortably have 50-60 with some cabaret style seating. The cafe has sandwiches, confectionery and hot drinks. Staff are very nice and friendly. There are also display cabinets of jewellery of local designers. You can park on the street for free after 630pm.
