Green Man

Meetings in Kidlington (Oxfordshire) and Sandridge (Hertfordshire) today, then a flight back from Luton to Edinburgh.  Phew.  Glad to be back.

Driving through rural Hertfordshire brought back fond memories of my years living in another part of the county and especially of good village pubs.  It seemed rude not to have lunch in one, even if I had to forgo the beers since I was driving.

The rental car was a Kia Karens.  I am not surprised Karen didn't want it.  In some respects it was better than I expected from a Kia, but it had unforgivable flaws including a gutless engine, restless ride, a lot of noise, and a satnav that kept telling me to "leave the exit".  What is that supposed to mean?  I wasn't sorry to hand it back.
