This summer I went to England to take classes at Cambridge University. I flew into London and spent a few days there. Then I went to Much Hadham.
Where is Much Hadham...you ask? It is in between London and Cambridge.
Why would I want to go to a small village (about 2,000 people as of 2011, probably still that population) north of London? Because it is close to Perry Green and that is where Henry Moore house and garden is located.
More posts about Henry Moore Studios and Gardens coming!

I rented a cute Airbnb, called The Nursery Cottage, in Much Hadham and walked to Perry Green. Let me show you around. It was great.
This is the main house and garden.

On Friday nights, in the summer, a fish and chips truck comes to the village.
Of course, I had to get some. It was parked next to the Londis grocery store, which has the post office inside and the grocery store is across the street from the fire station and next to the church.

Here a few views walking around Much Hadham.
One of my favorite things was that every house had a name. Love this about England, especially the small cities and villages.
