| From Hotel front door Bury St Edmunds |
Then headed over this way. Again Sharon and I had the usual motorway / scenic route attle. Even when I discovered the avoid motorway function it was an issue. Eventually I gave in and allowed motorways and opted for the quickest route. I'm sure that her first instruction after that had a certain "I knew I was right and you should have listened to me all along" tone to it. I wonder who she learned that from?!
On a planned basis ended up in Launton and on an unplanned basis in Aston Clinton on the trail of rellies. But alas - in Launton only found a Congregational Church and in Aston Clinton two Baptist Chapels and no graveyards. Interesting.
Eventually arrived here in Bury. Fantastic town. The cathedral and the remains of the abbey are straight across the road from the hotel in great park. Cool old houses built into the old walls of the abbey.
morning Hame (well it is here),
ReplyDeletenice update - glad you and Sharon are getting along - sounds like you are having the BEST trip.
news from home... not so much. Basically: work, other stuff (not much other stuff), work, etc. The strike day has been set - yes, the 15th, so it's all go here - with all manner of flags, banners and posters. You can check it all out on the PPTA facebook page if you want to support us from afar!
cheers, Sarah
Yeah sure. Did re-discover the value teachers badge. Maybe Frodo could start wearing it. Tho he doesn't like to draw attention to himself.
ReplyDeleteI like the shift in focus. It shows a much better appreciation of the common man and paints you as a man of the people once again. I am busy here working in the small pffice about to go out to a school in the rain. Like your photos. More info and tasting notes re the local beers would be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteSadly Geoff the bar in the hotel only had beer from done the coast, but it was pleasant enough. The venison (some of I nearly had to prepare myself the other day when Bambi sister ran out in front of me) was very good good and the local cheeses fantastic. I shall eat elsewhere tonight for difference experience and so one doesn't have to deal with the French barman who seems to think that all he has to do is polich glasses and looks a little affronted when service is requested! Nice to hear from you.
