Hertfordshire

The second weekend in September I joined some friends in the English countryside to attend Abi’s birthday party (the birthday girl is up top sandwiched between two "friends").

I have been to London several times but never in the land beyond so I was quite excited. Abi's family home is in Hertfordshire which is about a 30 min train ride from London. Apparently the name Hertfordshire is Anglo Saxon for deer crossing and the place has a history dating back to the Stone Age. All I know is that the landscape very peaceful and charming.





The next day a group of us had brunch at a well-known area pub called the The King William IV. The place is known for winning several awards for its vegetarian food as well as for having a very unsual (self-procalimed witch) owner.
