Milton Keynes

pivot

MK isn't that far from Shoe-town
It's a strange place, perhaps a bit soul-less
but every now and then
on a sunny day,
you get an idea of what the planners were trying to achieve...

walkway


I quite like it there.

Pride of Northampton

bone machine

The town is currently running an exhibition of giant lions, decorated by local artists.
They are all round the town, standing guard, scaring old ladies and generally brightening the place up.
This is "Bone Machine" by Bill Pollard, stalking its prey in Abington Street...


lionfish 2

This guy is the awesome "Lionfish" by Ross White and Rory Davis.
Hidden away in the Guildhall, this has to be seen to be believed.

P.S. - the locals are loving it.

Now some people tell me Northampton is boring and ugly,
but actually there's plenty of history and architecture.
Tons of it, lying about all over the place in fact.

So there's a thriving bike culture in Shoe-Town. See the world famous Bicycle Basket Bazaar if you don't believe me (www.bicyclebasketbazaar.co.uk).

The statue is to commemorate one of the discoverers of the structure of DNA who was a local boy. I love it.
