I had not explored the Sheep’s Meadow that lies between Christ Church College and the River Thames nor walked the towpath along the river to Iffley village.
I am intrigued by the names various business establishments are given: the Isis River Farmhouse, Head of the River, The Perch, and The Trout. In the US, it seems there is a tendency to name such places after people, the type of food served, or maybe ..bar, ..tavern, ..lounge, ..grill, ..saloon or some such. Just interesting.....
I think I would like to have a Pimm’s sometime.... I do not generally drink beer, but it looks good with the fruit/ vegetable on top...
It's a gin-based liquor mixed with lemonade, so nothing like a beer. There is one high-end cocktail bar in Madison that sells it.

In the case of The Perch (13th c.) and The Trout (17th c.), the name needed to be something that could be pictured on a pub sign.
oh, it sounds like Mike's hard lemonade. You can get them at the store.
