I live in east Northamptonshire at the moment, in a District Council area called East Northants which is the eastern end of Northamptonshire and is one of seven district councils; East Northants, Northampton, Wellingborough, Corby, Kettering, Daventry and South Northants. But soon Northamptonshire is being split into two new local council areas: West Northants and North Northants and I’ll be in North Northants.
So I’ll be in the eastern bit of North Northants in Northamptonshire.

I’m not very impressed by the depiction of the River Nene in the middle logo – it looks more like the Pacific breakers crashing into the coast than our placid River Nene. And now it has been pointed out to me, I’ll never be able to look at the building on the hill without thinking it is a massive pair of binoculars.
No, it’s the top one for me!
