Wow! Had such a great time last weekend. Looking forward to more rural Midlands enjoyment this weekend in North Muskham and East Markham. And as you'll see from the photos below, we were lucky with some amazing weather too.
Friday we arrived in Morcott. It was a lovely little village. So little in fact that we got lost! We drove past what was the high street and were convinced it was just a side street until we got to the next village where we realised that the high street WAS the village. Ha ha! I obviously need to get out of London more!
Belton was a little bigger but still tiny with a population of around 500 and just one pub/hotel/restaurant for the whole village. But I have to say we had an absoutely wonderful meal there. It may be the only choice but I'm sure people come from miles around to sample the excellent food. We discovered another lovely eatery in nearby Uppingham too, A tea room with adjoining bakery which sold the most delicious home-made cakes. Their chocolate and ginger flapjack was delicious!

| No it's not a public telephone box, it's a public defibrilator! |
