This must be Beatrix Potter country. There are rabbits everywhere. In the relatively short walk between our room and the computer cafe I counted at least 7.
There are so many of them it wouldn't be hard to imagine them with families, towns and lives of their own.
Took it easy today after our long back and forth to Cambridge yesterday. Meandered a bit through town and found the original Mildenhal marketplace, dating back to 1581. I've also noticed that lots of houses around town actually have thatched roofs-- they llok like roofs made out of pine straw with black netting strapped over it to keep it all into place. All buildings are either brick, stone, or stucco. No wood or no siding, which makes complete sense with how wet it is here. We don't even take the umbrella out with us anymore. You just resign yourself to coming home damp. Not wet, becasue it doesn't really rain, it's just a perpetual mist. It will be nice to move on somewhere else where it's a little drier and just a bit warmer.
Speaking of moving on. There are flights tomorrow to Germany. We're going to try to be on one.
