ReplyDeleteThere;s also a pub that has a glass ceiling and they serve really nice white hot chocolate there! But I guess it's summer now so you may not need that. I also forgot the name of the pub, so this is quite useless info!
Last but not least: please take a tacky photo (or make one of Horace) with the Robin hood statue!!!!! I'll email you soon, i took some photo's for you today. Yay. xxxx
