Well, the weather seems to be improving a bit so trips out are more likely! The most recent visit was to Nuneaton, one of those places whose name was familiar but I'd never visited. Wednesday morning was a good time to go as the place was buzzing with people visiting the large street market, which is also there on a Saturday.

The usual suspects, in terms of shops, were there, but there were also a lot of individual retailers, making for an interesting, competitive mix. Lovely to see a Co-op department store and foodstore - and in lovely 1930s buildings too. The Debenhams was a bit of a surprise too - quite large and higgeldy-piggledy!

Before I went I had no idea that George Eliot was born in the area, but a visit to the local museum told me all about her. There was also an interesting display of art, in the form of recycled cans by Val Hunt. The museum cafe was a very nice place to eat, as well - lovely service!

Where next? Who knows!
