Easter Weekend: Day 1

Today we drove to Rugby to have a look around. We are thinking of moving there, as it's a good central location and only 30-40 mins drive to my work. It has a bit more going on than Market Harborough.

It is a fairly large town, bordering on a City and it's claim to fame is well fairly obvious - when William Web Ellis (Internet to his friends) picked up a soccer ball and went for a run, or so the fable goes.

After lunching in Rugby we went to a lake, which I can't remember the name of. It was fairly small by NZ standards - 600 Acres but it has a road around the outside and is buggy friendly, so there were hundreds of families out for a walk. The only downside was that flies hang around in Swarms and dive bomb you. It is horrible.

Makes Australia look tame by comparison, but the English don't seem to mind. They are a strange lot as I have mentioned before. Oh and everything, I mean everything was open on Good Friday which was a surprise.
