On Sunday, I took a day trip to east Northamptonshire, about an hour from my home in Buckinghamshire. The countryside is really soft and lovely and villages like Fotheringhay and Apethorpe are so beautiful. I think if they were in the Cotswolds, they would all be much more famous than they are! A very tasty lunch was at The Shuckburgh Arms in Stoke Doyle, close to Oundle. Before then I took some pictures of the church and of the local scenery. What a great place to visit!
