Sometimes we’re just so busy with the hustle and bustle of daily life that we don’t always appreciate what’s on our doorstep. The lockdown has given us time to rediscover just how beautiful our town of Daventry is looking in the sunshine, even with evidence of lockdown restrictions in place. It would be easy to neglect the town in such challenging circumstances but it is looking radiant with colour provided by hanging baskets and the recent VE Day 75th Anniversary bunting. It is also clear from the many shop fronts that the retailers take pride in their offerings and are eagerly awaiting the opportunity to open once again.
