A Foggy Day ......

...... once the rain had ceased.

Took Mum and Dad to the Lytton Arms at Old Knebworth, for Sunday lunch. It's a good pub and a bit of a local, not a restaurant pub. Cosy, friendly and unassuming. We all had a thoroughly good time. Behind us a rather large chap was tinkling along on the piano, Fats Waller style. "A Foggy Day in London Town" seemed a very appropriate number.

This is the view on leaving the pub - fog settled on Knebworth Park. The house at it's core is the home of the Cobbold family. Probably the most famous resident was Edward Bulwer-Lytton, novelist, poet, dramatist and politician. He invented phrases such as "the great unwashed" and "the pen is mightier than the sword"' and persuaded Charles Dickens to change the ending of Great Expectations (to a happy one).

Most people probably know Knebworth best for the big bands who have played there over the years. In better weather than today's.
