Kings Langley day two

With a bit more time available today I had a look around Kings Langley beginning with a trip to the barbers

<<<< I went in looking like this

and came out like this >>>>


I think the lady did a good job, she located a few brown hairs still kicking around and treated them extra carefully.

I had a walk along the High Street and there was a bright pink Range Rover parked up, I was too self conscious to take a picture but on the rear bumper nearside corner it had the words “you’ve just been overtaken by a girl” and then in the centre of the bumper “the fairies made me do it” with little darker pink fairies flying around, it made me smile.

There was the usual mix of shops, a nice looking butcher’s, those are getting rarer by the day, restaurants, coffee shops etc, almost everything you need although I need a hardware store and it did not have one of those, but it did have this very well named Gallery.

This nice looking pub which stated it was children and dog friendly with all “home cooked” food,

it looked very pleasant and I’m sure if it had been a hot day I would have gone in and partaken of a quencher or two along with the “home cooked” food, but I had a date with some Cod and Chips, the “chippy” was a mix of Kebabs, Burgers, and Fish, as so many seem to be these days, you have to diversify to stay profitable, the portion was a “medium” cod with “regular” chips, good job I didn’t order the large, there was enough for two people, is it just me or do all chip shops these days give huge portions of chips? Anyway after walking it back to the boat I tucked in and was very satisfied I washed it down with a cuppa, well only tea will do with fish and chips, then struggled to keep my eyes open for the next hour.

All in all I like Kings Langley, I think it would make a nice place to live, not tiny village but not large town, sort of right in the middle, if you happen to boat through it’s worth a stop, over bridge 157 and up the hill.
