Kings Arms Re-opens

After years of decline our village pub, The Kings Arms, closed about three years ago and there were concerns that 36 flats might be built on the site. Then along came two knights in shining armour. They bought the pub and over the last 15 months have spent £1 million rebuilding, extending and equipping the premises. The Kings Arms Country Pub and Hotel (as it is now called) re-opened last week and its fantastic. Two dining rooms seat over 80 guests with room for more outside when the weather permits. There is a comfortable bar, a snug, 10 luxurious en suite bedrooms and a croquet lawn. Every thing is of the highest standard and the food is lovely. The photos show the bar, dining room, a guest's view of the kitchens and one of the bedrooms. Well done the knights in shining armour. Book now to avoid disappointment!

Birthday Girl

Jenny was born on 29 February so only has a birthday once every four years, in Leap Year. The grandchildren find this very amusing and tell their friends that their Granny is only 15 years old as she has only had 15 birthdays. But when do people born on 29 February celebrate their birthdays in the three years out of four when there is no 29 February? Jenny likes to receive her cards on 28 February but it would be interesting to know if other "Leap Year babies" prefer 1 March. Although there was no 29 February this year Jenny received her usual cards and presents, including the necklace and earrings shown in the photo. Thanks everybody.
