Kruppas in England: Bill Starts Work and Other Realities of Life

(a page from our A-Z Map)

Just to show you around Corby a bit:

Brooke Weston CTC is located down at the bottom of the pic and our bungalow is the little pink speck there at the bottom of Coombe Road. You can trace our walk up to Morrison's supermarket.

Then up where the roads intersect is Town Centre - the Swimming Pool is there to the left of all the store and so forth.

Here's the inside of our Corby bus as we travel around Corby. This costs £1.50 for a day.

So it was off to school for Bill on the 18th. This left me to find activities to keep three kiddies occupied.

So, one day we walked up to a playground in Oakley Vale where the kids played for a long time. Wednesday, I received my first delivery of groceries to my door - ordered online from ASDA Walmart. Then in the afternoon, a very nice lady who Bill met in the grocery store took me and the kids to Town Centre, where we had coffee and cakes; then she drove me on a tour around our area. This was a really nice thing to see what was around the town of Corby. Thursday, we took an outing to Town Centre to do some shopping and go to the library. This was also my first stop in Costa Coffee for a triple chocolate muffin and a mocha. Friday, it was another outing to Town Centre for some things for the kids this time, and then on to the Swimming Pool for an afternoon swim.

Meanwhile, Bill went to lots of meetings and learned all about how England does assessment and so forth, got his schedule, and met lots of fellow staffers.

Saturday, it was a morning run to Town Centre for a few more errands, and then back home to do some random household things.
