On the eve of Christmas, Day 24 of #NWECPAdvent is two sides of the #Wirral peninsula from #NewBrighton to #Parkgate on stage 27 of the guidebook.

Starting to brighten up here and the threat of remnants of ex storm Erin's haven't really materialise yet, glad I risked it though the real ale range ain't been great so far. Currently on a not nice Taylors Boltmaker in the ship. Frustratingly no dark ales today here at #Parkgate π‘

A round tub of chips covered in lurid green mushy peas. They're next to an orange bike. The marshes of the River Dee are behind.

There is a gorgeous Golden Retriver and Black Lab on the table to my left in this pub. I have a view over the Dee Marshes to my right, #MastersSnooker on the laptop, and a pint of #OrchardThieves #Cider. A great Saturday! #Parkgate #DogsInPubs
