A Mysterious Discovery

Daisy and I went for a walk this evening. We didn't plan on going far just somewhere to keep the pulse up a little and burn off some fat. There are some nice houses that have been built by Dallington park and I thought it would be nice to give them a look over.

We walked down the road and found out it went on further than I had anticipated and what we discovered there kind of blew our minds. There is Dallington House for a start, a huge mansion with stable blocks and all the other things a huge house has. Then we found ourselves in Dallington Village. I didn't even know there was one but here it was on our own doorstep a village dating back in places some 400 years. There was a lovely little pub (The Wheat Sheaf) with a beer garden opposite a 400 year old church with old houses all over the place and a babbling brook running through it. All this village bliss in the heart of Northampton and just 2 miles from the town centre. Should I win Euro Millions this weekend I so know where we are moving to!

Link here to Pictures It took several weeks of planning calling in every favour we could, saving money where ever possible. I often think these cheaper weddings are the best. I think it's unlikely even with all the essential costs for the cere...
