It's taken 82 years, and it wasn't done well, (I was on a train) but ambition now achieved. Hertford born, bred, lived, I've been to the place 10% of our letters used to go before postcodes came. Here they spell with an 'a' and pronounce the 't'. (10% went to Hereford of course) – at London, England
Hertfordshire? Bank holiday simple trip? Come to Cromer Windmill! Hertfordshire's last windmill. Pics from yesterday as I close after my team's millguide duties; and August Hertfordshire hedgerows on the lanes to the mill.
Also open weekend afternoons til end of September. – at Hertford, East

This is a site in #Hertford which the District Plan said had capacity for around 200 properties, a planning appeal resulted in permission being given for nearly double that, & now a late bid is being made to add another 65. Traffic & parking issues a particular concern here.
We are currently looking at documentation supporting a planning application to increase the number of apartments at Mead Lane, #Hertford by 65. Permission is already in place for 380. Ref 3/24/2147/VAR

Had a great day. Sponsored bikeride. HistoricChurchesTrust. Gently pedalled the 64year old Raleigh to 35 churches of all ages and sorts, in Broxbourne, Ware, Hertford and many nearby villages. Hills and vales; all in sunshine, lightwind, and kind temperatures. Chuffed and tired. – at Hertford, East

We're delighted that Arts Council England has approved a £100,000 grant to help us celebrate the centenary of Hertfordshire Libraries next year. Our library service turns 100 on 28 February 2025, and we're planning a year-long celebration.

Sad that it’s the end of both the #Olympics & the #Yarnlympics. Congratulations & thanks to the Secret Society of #Hertford Crafters for brightening up our postboxes over the past couple of weeks.
Nice thing to do. (For all) Happens across the country. Walk, bike, or 'bus. Heritage. Helping to keep church buildings. Plot your day, church to church. 2 churches or 52. No race. Greet others. Sign in church by church or mark own card. Relax. Enjoy.
dm me for more info. – at Hertford, East
Returned from an enjoyable weekend at Farnham. Two busy churches with warm welcomes; and steam trains on the Watercress Line. Hertford routines about to resume. Bush Hotel Farnham recommended. – at Islington, London

A short concert not to be missed in #Hertford this evening, with @HertMusicFest drawing to a close with two pianists playing two pianos at 6pm at @AllSaintsHertf. There will be tickets available on the door.
A cathedral, sun, sand, coves and bays, and tramping hill and green valley. Just back from Cornwall. Resolved to return before summer's out. – at Hertford, East
