Our driver, Pete, picked us up at our hotel in London Wednesday morning. We then headed to Northampton and Kingsthorpe where Nan-nan grew up and where she married Grandpa. I was able to get a quick look at where she lived and the pub that her Grandfather owned. The Highlight of the area is the church where they got married. We arrived at the church to find it locked. But Grandpa, being Grandpa, found someone to come open it for us. So we also got to go in which I did not think we would be able to do. Very awesome.
We then drove into Brixworth where my Great Uncle Les and Great Aunt Anthea own The Coach and Horses Pub and Inn. We took a look around the area and then met up with Les' son Ricky and his Brother Steven. It was a very fun night and the rooms there were great!
Tis morning we drove to Burton Latimer to meet with John wo I think we decided is my second cousin and his family.
We then drove into Leicester where my grandparents went to college. We also explored the local market, which they used to go to when they were there.
We then drove to Loughborough where we are staying for 4 nights.
Tomorrow's plan........ Morning at the Loughborough market, then meeting more family and finally off to see Aunt Jean :)
On a funny note the waitress messed up and put salt I. The sugar dish this morning so my coffee tasted wonderful. Also I had to go see the "Chemist" to get some Zyrtec (spelled Zirtek here). This place has way too much vegetation!
