Snug. Odd name nice village

The aptly named village of Snug lies just north of Kettering.   I cannot be certain where it got its name from but I presume it relates to its protected bay and estuary.   First impressions of the village reminds my of areas of Kilsyth in Melbourne.   We have occaision to visit Snug frequently,  the Kids go to school there,   the girls do dancing in the snug hall and Will plays footie in the Channel junior football club.  
What this means is that midweek,  on a Wednesday we have the pleasure of spending about 3 hours at the snug foreshore/footy oval while the kids do their thing.   Its not as pleasant in the middle of winter but in autumn spring and summer its lovely.    I like to walk around and collect pinecones for the fire.

 Adjoining the footy oval,  with its own Boat ramp into Snug River is the Channel (Snug) Scouts.    In the warmer months it's great to see all the kids messing about in boats and having a great time.   I was never a scout myself,   having a sense that right wing paramilitary   organisations have caused a great deal of trouble in the past.   My views have softened somewhat,   I think the kids would get a lot out of it.
