00:00 So we're here at the boatyard in Bridge North, bit of a clue I guess with the display there
00:06 and the windchill and all the boat paraphernalia. And what's your name sir?
00:10 Hamid.
00:11 Hamid and this is your baby then this place yeah?
00:14 Yeah he is yeah.
00:14 How long you been involved here then Hamid?
00:16 About 10 years.
00:18 And for people that have not been to the boatyard in Bridge North, just explain what the place is like and what's special about it?
00:26 It's like mostly the summer place, like holiday place.
00:30 Yeah.
00:31 Yeah and by the beautiful River Severn and we do a little food and some drinks.
00:41 Yeah.
00:42 Yeah and it's very sun trap for people.
00:45 It is isn't it?
00:46 Yeah and it's a beautiful place I think yeah.
00:49 Yeah and in the winter when we get our rainstorms it does come right up doesn't it to the beer garden here?
00:55 Yeah.
00:56 Is that something you just have to contend with and it is what it is?
00:59 You have to accept the consequences of the thing and then it's the nature, you can't fight with nature.
01:08 So I think the Shropshire folk, you live by the river you might have a bad weekend or a bad week but then days like this, this is what it's all about isn't it?
01:17 Yeah it makes everyone happy when it's sunshine yeah and then yeah during winter it's a bit sad here yeah.
01:25 Yeah I mean your beer garden, I mean we've just been having a look there, beautiful roses by the way.
01:31 Thank you, I think they are Persian rose, the pink one.
01:34 Looking lovely for a minute.
01:35 Very nice smell as well.
01:36 Yeah and I mean as a spot, you're right looking over the historic bridge there in the town isn't it?
01:43 Yeah.
01:44 It's got to be a contender for one of the best beer gardens in Shropshire.
01:47 One of the best beer gardens yeah absolutely yeah.
01:50 And in terms of food then, if someone was coming what would you pick off the menu yourself if you were having a little stop by for a little bite to eat?
