The days post Christmas and the ceasing of the eating of the pudding!
B&H in Rugby, Warwickshire. Have you ever read Tom Brown's School Days which is a semi-autobiographical masterpiece written by Thomas Hughes? The story is set at Rugby School in the 1830's. The school is one of England's oldest and most prestigious public schools. The word school being the furtherst thing in B&H's minds.
Rugby is most famous for the invention of rugby football. The invention of the game is credited to William Webb Ellis.
Rugby was originally a small Anglo-Saxon farming settlement and was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Rocheberie. Rugby obtained a charter to hold a market in 1255, and soon developed into a small country town.
Lesson over. Test and assignment later.
All of our relatives and friends keep apologising for the weather. We didn't expect very much as it is winter but so many of the trees are decidious and they make outstanding features in the sunshine (yes there has been sunshine) as well as the late afternoon sky and the trees look particularly lovely in the countryside.
Tractor drive through in the village where Sarah's Aunt and Uncle live. Sarah's Uncle has a few show tractor's and there are regular show days when these little machines come out to play. This one is a Massey Ferguson.
This little tractor is quite unique and is only a single cylinder motor.
