I finally got an email with my job description and pub location. The owners even asked for my flight information so they could pick me up from Heathrow. What British hospitality! The pub is called Cart and Horses and is located 35 minutes north of central London, which will give me tons of London bonding time and I'll be sure to let the Queen Mum know she can leave Buckingham Palace for a spot of tea with me if she pleases. After reading up on the small (very small) village of Commonwood, Hertfordshire, the locale of the Cart and Horses, I've been able to find a few interesting facts: there is a zoo about ten minutes away, a few castles, some lakes, and according to google maps there are about 7 tennis courts within 1 mile from where I'll be, and apparently Rupert Grint's (you know him as Ron Weasley from "Harry Potter") hometown is somewhere around there, too. I suppose that's a good start. And I attached the only two photos I could find of the pub. It must be one of those "best kept secrets of Northern London" pubs. Or maybe it's just in a small town with little
internet access and no human interaction. I hope it's the former.
Stay tuned, I'll be there soon! So I guess I'll have more to say than "I hope I see Ron Weasley."--jill
