This morning we went to Nuneaton to see what the town was like. I'd never been there and Emma had only been through it on a driving lesson. We were impressed by the size and scope of the town centre market - plenty of well priced veg stalls in addition to the usual clothes and random stuff.

On the way back, we stopped at Bedworth. The town itself is fairly picturesque but any nice first impression was ruined by the hoardes of kids in track-suits cluttering up the town centre. We went into Tesco. A lot of the shops have been re-arranging their stock and getting Christmas stuff on the shelves already - sadly we were tempted and ended up buying a pack of mince pies. The shop obviously expects us to start our Christmas just as ridiculously early as they are - the pies go out of date in mid november.
