Felicity Hat Hire

I couldn't believe this when I saw this today. This little shop used to be full to the brim of the most fantastic ladies hats, you know the kind of thing, weddings, Royal Ascot and depending where you come from a quick trip to the grocery store!! You know who you are, this one's for you sweetie! Shame about the hats...

We have a branch of Felicity Hat Hire in Kings Langley. In fact, I had to check it wasn't the same one by looking up the phone number of ours! It is also in a very old shop just like this... I'll be driving that way round to watford in a minute to see if it's still there! Sad if thay have gone bust, they were a lovely franchised company, and their hats were wonderful!!!

It's always sad when you see little shops like this one go under, giving way to the big bad chain stores. Eh that's life though ain't it?
