The night before last it rained all night so our river is again high. Walked home from town this afternoon over this bridge. It is supposed to be the oldest bridge in Suffolk still serving its original purpose. Not sure about that but it's a nice, sturdy looking bridge. Spent all day yesterday at an antique fair in Long Melford. Good, busy, fairly successful, day. Been into town twice today. First time into building suppliers to buy some wood for a job I'm doing -not urgently doing, but in my 'spare time' (!) And secondly to go into the bank and generally do some odd jobs, i.e. purchase small 'sample' tin of paint for above mentioned odd job. On way home took various snap shots, mainly of small river in small spate. More later, D.V.

On close inspection it appears to be the 'oldest bridge' in the sense of Trigger's broom, which he claimed to be the original broom used for 27 years throughout his service.... only having 15 replacement heads and 4 replacement stales (with the obvious 19 new nails to cement their relationship)!
It is a beautiful bridge but patched and mis-matched from foundation to copings.
I'm impressed with the juxtaposition of the horizontal geometries of this picture against the vertical thrust of your previous pic. I always knew there was an artist in you somewhere despite your pretensions towards being a mere copyist!
Verbal verification code is 'trizar'. From which I deduce you are the pope - wearing the triple crown of Ceasar, Kaiser & Czar?
