Tobes #1

by

The Brocket Arms... a fine old listed pub in the pretty Hertfordshire hamlet of Ayot St Lawrence. A couple of hundred yards away and you’ll find Shaw’s Corner, and George Bernard was a regular at The Brocket, although apparently he was a teetotaller.

And venture a little further and you arrive at Brocket Hall, erstwhile home of Lord Melbourn, former British Prime Minister and a special favourite of Queen Victoria herself.

Toby was the landlord. He came straight from the ‘top drawer’ and his son Freddie was mates with Prince William. And my sons were both on Tobes’s payroll too.
