High St, Lavenham
My friend L is currently staying in London for a few weeks, so we decided to arrange a short trip on one of the weekends whilst she was here. Suffolk fit the bill perfectly - neither of us had been there before, it is full or antique shops, and is only a two-hour drive from London.
Despite the fact that the sudden Spring warmth of early March had disappeared and it was back to being quite chilly, we had a brilliant weekend. We mainly explored Lavenham and Bury St Edmunds - lots of antique browsing, tea and scones on several occasions, a very nice farm stay b&b, and a great meal in the local pub (which was handily next door to the farm).
Lavenham is a lovely village, which has retained many of its half-timbered homes...
And a lovely church...
On Sunday morning we wandered the Abbey Gardens in Bury...
Which we shared with the locals, and enjoyed the signs of spring...
