Traveling by train is fantastic. We travelled yesterday from Manchester to Daventry and today from Crewe to Edinburgh. Edinburgh station is massive. There are so many people walking about in Edinburgh. It reminded us of Chicago. The weather was a little cold and rainy today, but on the whole we have had excellent weather.

Princess Diana
We drove to Princess Diana’s home of Althorp. This was her family home until she went to London. She is buried on the grounds. Those are deer under the trees.
Rugby Sports Grounds
Absolutely beautiful sports fields. Rugby School is the home of the game of rugby. If you look carefully you will see Prince Harry in a school skit about the discovery of rugby when William Webb Ellis (school pupil) picked up a soccer ball and ran with it, and thus rugby was invented.
Rugby Chapel
I just couldn’t resist!!! (Rugby School Chapel).
Rugby School
We visited the ancient & famous RUGBY School today in the town of Rugby in the English Midlands. Here are some pics of the quadrangle and chapel.
