Lavenham and Long Melford

The weather was dull, wet and cold so where to go?  We headed off to Lavenham via a stop in Sudbury.

Lavenham is fascination and full of very old Tudor buildings.

We were getting hungry stopped at the National Trust's Guildhall tea rooms in Lavenham, for a spot of lunch.  Mixed Vegetable soup - very nice and very welcome on a cold day!

We saw this sign - a picture of Egrets with the saying: Egrets - I've had a few

and here is Pete demonstration this... ;)

St Peter and St Paul the church at Lavenham

couldn't resist this... it was a picture on the notice board

and from there to All Saints,  at Acton (nr Sudbury)
The Church isn't often open but today there was a charity bike ride stopping at many churches in the surrounding area... so we were lucky to find it open.

From there onto Long Melford - we were missing Cake while we were away.

Lemon Drizzle and Victoria Sponge - very nice and washed down with a cuppa!

Then a stroll around the gardens (to walk off the cake ;) )

Signs of Autumn with Autumn Cyclamen.

Despite the weather a very enjoyable day out.....
