Wednesday.

Today the five of us  motored over to Long  Melford and went to Graham Turner's Antique Fair in the Village Hall.  Ruth bought a very nice pair of  late eighteenth century brass candlesticks, 'Adam' style, seamed and of a larger size than is usual-eleven and a half inches high. She is (rightly) very pleased with them. I bought  Ann a small New Hall  tea bowl, and I also bought a lidded pewter  flagon. We then went across the road to the Bull Inn and met up with an old friend for coffee. Ruth took the above photo outside a lovely  old  house, opposite the Bull. Drove back to Sudbury just after mid-day, and lunched at  a coffee bar 'David's'. Very decent light lunch but it  took forty five minutes to serve us. After lunch we went to a newish charity shop, and ALL of us found something to buy (a paper back book that I'd not read, by Ian Rankin,  in my case) so everyone was pleased.  Got home about half past  two feeling that we'd all  had a  good morning out.
Good night everyone.
