The Red Lion Getting Repaired

I am not a fan of High Wycombe as a whole, for a number of reasons. That said, there are some places and sights in Wycombe that I do enjoy. Among them, the Red Lion, from the old Red Lion Hotel. I blogged about it last May. It's kind of the officious emblem of the town. If you noticed on the picture I took, its tail was broken. Well, I learned that it is finally getting repaired. That's good news. I'm not sure it will convince me to visit High Wycombe any time soon, but if I do, I will try to take a new picture of the Red Lion.

The Red Lion

We went to High Wycombe last week. Not something I like to do very often. To be honest, I am not a fan of Wycombe. For a number of reasons, which I will not mention today. That said, the town has a few redeeming qualities and a few nice sights. Including this Red Lion, from the former Red Lion Hotel. It's an impressive beast.

A pub and a theatre?

I took this picture in Wootton Bassett. It is on the wall of the Red Lion. It was not the right time to stop there, but I learned that apparently they do plays in there sometimes. Often enough for the pub to be advertised as a "pub theatre". I am eager to find out more about this. I don't go and see plays often enough and this would be mixing two passions of mine: the stage and drinking beer in a pub (I am a man of simple pleasures). It is an inspired mix, having a play performed in the cosy environment of a pub. I guess they need to be relatively small scale plays. In any case, I am curious to discover more about this place.
