August 2025
Author: Pheasant Tommy
This traditionally quiet month kicked off early with a trip to Bury St Edmunds on the first day of the month.
With four pheasants setting off on the train they were soon settled into the Canon Street Brewery with a sausage roll and deep in discussion of where to go next. With Mario pining for the Four Artichokes and a different eating establishment, the team ended up in a curry house where Pheasant Tom struggled to keep his eyes open. The night ended with coffee and dominos to help wake him up for the train ride home.
The end of August saw two events in quick succession. First was the 5th Year anniversary of the first pheasant walk and saw a large turn out for the Three Churches walk. The team were treated to a short sub 10km walk, bacon turnovers, champagne and asparagus as festivities got underway. This was followed up by drinks at the Affleck Arms and locally produced pies and chutney.
The month finished with the Prince Albert beer festival where Mario had set up a rendezvous with Bruce (from the Easy E riders, shown below) who had somehow stumbled across the pheasant website on the Internet and had been suitably impressed to reach out to us.
September promises to be a busy month with a couple of events, a pheasant birthday and the new Thurston walk.
