Advantages: great place to eat Disadvantages: slow service
The Walter Arms is a local pub and restaurant just close to where I live. You can find it on Bearwood Road, between Barkham and Sindlesham on the outskirts of Wokingham. It has recently undergone a substantial refurbishment so when I visited recently I was interested to see if and how it had changed. It is now described as a pub and restaurant with a hint of the mediterranean!
The pub used to have quite a cluttered old fashioned feel to it but that has all changed now. When you first go in you notice a light, airy modern feel although they have still retained a real fire which on a cold February night was very welcoming. The last time I visited was on a Friday night a couple of weeks ago with a group of girlfriends for a meal and a natter. As we were there a bit early we stood in the bar area and had a drink first but we could have gone ...
Advantages: Good Quality Food, Good Atmosphere, Friendly Staff Disadvantages: Limited Menu options
I was introduced to Chez Jules about 18 months ago by a friend who swore it was the best restaurant in town, and I have to agree with him.

Advantages: no matter how many times you read it you will still not know excatly what it is about. Disadvantages: I really dont no!
I have not read alot of Walter de la Mares work. But I have read the listeners which is a poem. Depending on how you read this poem the plot changes. If you read it literally then it is about a traveller that has arranged to go to somebodies house but no-one is there only a host of phantoms. But if you read it metaphorically then it could be about some one looking for an afterlife or a god etc. Whichever way you read it I can almost guarantee you will enjoy it and will read it through a few times. And your views on what this poem is about will most likely change everytime you read this, and I think this is one of the many reasons this poem has lasted for such a long time. ...
