The End of a Perfect Day...

[Jemisa]

In case anyone wondered >>>

We went to Battlesbridge, it was just right not too crowded. I've been looking for a bedroom chair for ages & found one there, beautiful like the Edwardian nursing chair, perfect. & a wrought iron garden bench, needs work but hubby will make a good job of that.
Has anybody else bought stuff there? There's such a variety of stuff its hard to come away with nothing.
Weather good all day, missed the thunderstorms.
We're off to Lavenham nx week.

I'm glad you enjoyed Battlesbridge. (I've been several times but, a far as I can recall, I've always managed to resist the temptation to buy anything!).

Lavenham is lovely but pricey!

You might want to combine your visit with a look at Kentwell Hall (which is just down the road from Lavenham):

If you were to visit on Friday you could have a great evening there:

I don't need insults at this time of night, thank you!

ESSEX!!! NEVER!!
(Even though half my family come from there!).

I'm just across the border in SUFFOLK (where Lavenham, Long Melford and Kentwell Hall are all located - they're only a short drive down the road from here).

Used to love it when I lived in South Woodham Ferrers I am glad it is stilll going

Chris, Whats wrong being an Essex boy then?

Soo you'd rather be known as a Suffolk boy then, well I've always been under the impression that Suffolk folk were 'silly'
Hence 'Silly Suffolk'
My mother came from Suffolk, and was called that all her life.

Ah, but did you know that 'silly Suffolk' is actually a corruption of 'sealy Suffolk', which uses an Old English word to mean 'holy Suffolk'? The county was called that because of the extraordinarily high number of churches we've got here.
(It's amazing what I can still remember from junior school!)
