Daventry

Jerry and I spent a week in England. There is something magical about England for us. First of all Jerry's main musical influences in the sixties came from the British Invasion. For Jerry England is mecca. For me it is the homeland of most of my ancestors. I relish being able to walk in the footsteps of my ancestors. This trip I visited the tiny village of Daventry in Northamptonshire. I found the street where my ancestors lived, but the houses had been rebuilt in the 1890's. I tramped through the church graveyard. The ancient Norman church made of ironstone which has the color of rusted metal is like nothing I have seen before.
