calvin takes england by storm

We headed down to England on Friday to visit the rellies. Driving there was complicated by a storm, a lightly flooded motorway, and a baby who didn't like being stopped in traffic jams. We made it though, and relaxed in Market Harborough for the weekend. We didn't do much except visit and ask lots of annoying questions about the Battle of Naseby, since we drove by the site several times and which I'd only heard of because of a song.

Coffee and gossip in Market Harborough.

On the way back we drove along Hadrian's wall. We stopped (briefly- one of us had a screaming fit and needed feeding [Sam]) and Calvin and I pretended to be Roman soldiers for a few minutes.

Then it was back up to Dundee. We once made fun of the font that Dundee used on it's signs. They've had a makeover and change of slogan! Go away for a weekend and your world changes.
