Newbies in Newmarket

So we've been in Newmarket (our new home away from home for the next couple of months) for about 2 weeks and so far we're loving it. Such a nice sleepy hollow of a town with a high street of shops and pubs and a Christmas fair as well!

We're about a 15 minute walk from the high street which is handy and so far we haven't had to deal with any bad weather (bit chilly, but no horrible rain or snow...yet). We're enjoying not doing too much of anything and catching up on sleep from our 3 months of traveling.

Our plan is to base ourselves in Newmarket and find some work either in the town or in surrounding areas such as Cambridge or Bury St Edmunds. They're both quite a bit bigger than Newmarket and only a 20 minute bus ride away. So far I've applied for three jobs, so just waiting and seeing. Matt's gotten a hair cut (LOL).

Hopefully we'll get a chance to travel a wee bit in the next couple of weeks, on our list are: Edinburgh, Leeds, and Cardiff, but we'll have to wait and see. We're also only a 2 hour train ride away from London so we'll be going down there as well I imagine.

We haven't taken too many photos of the town but we'll upload some as soon as we do.
