There is lots of activity of late at my favorite pub. The King's Arms is officially closing on Sunday at second bell. They will be closed until early November for refurbishment and re-opening as The King's Arms Pub and Hotel.
When it is all said and done, there will be nine rooms to let upstairs and the pub will have a new dining room. They are re-doing the whole downstairs to make it look nicer and they are finally going to lose the brass lamp that is placed so inconveniently at the corner of the bar where it obstructs the view of the seat next to you if you happen to be sitting near the end of the bar.
I have been hearing about these plans for the past two years and it is only that the pub (even though it has been through tons of changes over the years) is still considered to be a historic building and as such, they have had to jump through a number of hoops to get the permits to start construction.
So Sunday is the big send-off. Then it will be two months until I can once again meet-up with friends in The King's Arms. Good luck to the staff of the pub and I hope that the build-out goes with out a hitch. See you in November!
I hope your day, wherever it finds you, goes off without a hitch!
