I love the 'space out of time' period between Christmas and New Year and what better way to experience it than a weekend with friends Adam and Kate at their Northamptonshire house in Woodford. We were met off the train at Kettering and then taken to various
viewpoints on the trail associated with battle of Naseby. Interesting interpretation boards and an insight into what Ian and Adam get up to on their battlefield jaunts! Like my visit to
Brussels Military Museum, I earnt lots of brownie points and to compensate there was a lovely light over the fields.
Rather more to my taste was the intriguing
Lyvedon New Bield near Oundle.
Lovely light again and I was rather taken by the 'marks' of all the laid hedges everwhere, a very rural setting compared to the shopper frantic London we'd left that morning
The following morning there was more sun and a hard frost overnight ( saw so many stars at night with the clear skies and low light pollution).
Perfect for a
walk with the dogs to blow the cobwebs away along the abandoned railtrack looking over the flooded area around the River Nene. We finished with a delicious lunch at
'Good Friends' , (excellent lemon meringue pie).
