"The Canal Museum at Stoke Bruerne Nice pub nearby for lunch too."

Oh yes - in the past I've enjoyed many a pint of Owd Roger and game of bar skittles in The Boat Inn.


It's a pity you won't have time to venture oop north to Yorkshire and Northumberland and see the real England ;). However, if you're in London in early April don't miss David Hockney's exhibition of amazing (and huge) paintings of my native Yorkshire Wolds, on at The Royal Academy until 9th April.

Oh, and forget about football and go and see a great game of rugby union.
