Flackwell Heath and its pubs

 I wanted to blog about a bit of sad news I read recently, that got me thinking. I have rarely been to the village of Flackwell Heath and I never spent much time there, I never ever been to their pubs, but three of them were closing down recently. One lost pub in a small village is bad enough, but three of them closing down, it's like a death warrant to the community. I have been in none of these pubs, but saw The Stag from outside and I always thought it looked lovely. Then again, I just love the name. Well, I read the news on the Bucks Free Press on the 17th of May and since then, things have been looking up. Since then, I learned that the staff managed to save two of the three pubs, including The Stag. The other one is The Green Dragon (another great pub name, by the way). I don't know when we will go to Flackwell Heath, probably not any time soon, but I do hope we will visit these pubs one day. For no better reason than to encourage local businesses. But also because I love village pubs.
