Folk Night at the Sailor's Return, Weymouth, Dorset - 16th April 2025

It's the last night in Portland, and luckily it's the same night as the weekly folk session in the Sailor's Return in Weymouth, which Sean and Hannah do fairly often. So that's what we do, for a great night of music and beer, with Nosher even playing guitar for a few numbers, plus there's an appearance from Weymouth's "Royal Family" - the mayor and two of his daughters. The next day, it's an early-ish drop off at Weymouth Station for the journey home. At least this time, it's trains all the way.
