00:00Just here at the Jasper's Arms you shift up and ready to catch a rather special moment.

00:18Will you honour me and be my bride?

00:22Hallid, I would love to, but I'm afraid I'm already shaken.

00:26Disney, eat your heart out. Hallid, how are you sir?

00:30Okay, I'm good.

00:31Cool, so you've got involved, what I see, someone says we're doing scarecrows in the town and you thought

00:37Jasper's Arms is part of the town, let's get involved. Is that how it went?

00:40Exactly as it is. Let's sow some community spirit and join in and it's great for the kids.

00:47All the kids have been stopping, looking, mum and dad take photos, it's all great for the town.

00:53And we should say, you were tipping me off, a word to the wise, if anybody thinks they're

00:56going to grab a free bottle of vino here that's on the table, it's just a bit of blackcurrant squash,

01:01I don't bother.

01:03Yeah, exactly.

01:03And I said, have they got names? What's the answer?

01:07Well, ale and cider.

01:08Ale and cider. Cool, I like that, great stuff.

01:11Well they look the part, they look great. I mean, are those yours braces that Ale's wearing?

01:16Are your trousers just about hanging up?

01:59Yeah.
