Northampton and more Leighton Buzzard


Nat's working in Northampton, which is about 40 mins drive away I think, so I went with her yesterday to check out the place. It hasn't got the best reputation, but I thought it had quite nice buildings (a few prominent churches including a circular one from 1100s, a guild hall, a decent town square etc), and an interesting museum. The Museum's main focus is on shoes as this is the home of Doc Martens, and has been a shoe making town since 1100s. Surprisingly really interesting - with shoes from around the world of all different eras... and quite some interesting fashion statements! Its even got the ones Naomi Campbell fell off on the catwalk...

We also visited Milton Keynes which is a purpose built satellite town for London with quite an odd feel to it... huge shopping mall, indoor ski slope, movie theatres, grid layout roads...


And other than that I've been wandering round Leighton Buzzard a bit more... hunting out computer shops to burn a DVD of photos, posting things home etc. Rains kept me from bigger excursions.. it just keeps coming!
