Alex has threatened to drag me kicking and screaming with him
I spent too long living in Northants to ever really want to return, if only for a few hours - ghastly place................

I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

I can't comment on the surrounding area, but Scalford Hall is a lovely place, as is the countryside near it.
I didn't find Melton Mowbray in any way offensive, either...

You could have a nice "knife out" in Wellingborough and, IMO, "Kett'ring" ain't much better. The damp, dank air runs all through the Nene valley from just east of Northampton right out past Oundle and almost into Peterborough. Area is a Radon trap too and our then-house was built with a suspended concrete floor, supposedly to help with Radon infiltration.

Radon trap? Sorry, educate me...
Anyway, none of that matters as you'll be in the hotel all day listening to music and drinking beer!
