Got up early today for early service at 7.30 a.m. Breakfast in church then had a potter round the Art Exhibition, which opened last Friday. Not (very) tempted by anything in the exhibition, as I suppose the best bits have been sold. We certainly didn't buy anything, which is the first time we haven't. Motored over to the Manger pub in Burnt Bradfield (Bradfield Combust on the map) but Suffolk people have long memories. In 1327 riotting broke out in nearby Bury St. Edmund's, which eventually spread to Bradfield and culminated in the Priest's house being burnt down, among others. Ever since then the village has been Bradfield Combust, or Burnt Bradfield to the locals. Met friends Terry and Diana, and Derek and Cath, for lunch at the Manger pub, which has a good reputation for food. As we haven't seen any of them for a while it was socially a good, enjoyable gathering. Ann and I had eaten there one evening some months ago and had had an excellent meal, and had suggested it for today's gathering. As we were motoring home we agreed to being slightly disappointed at today's lunch. Nothing specific, but generally a bit bland. Ann had fish cakes and indigestion on the way home and since. Everywhere is allowed an 'off day', so shall probably try it one more time to see. Got a wedding in Wiltshire this weekend so may not blog for a day or two.
Oh, should have said earlier - the photo is of Ann dressed to go out to lunch.
'Bye for now. More next week. Cheers, Mike.

Ann's looking very well before lunch, tell her to keep taking the Remegel! Hope she's better soon,
LuvBruv.
Ann and the gardens are looking beautiful. Enjoy your wedding, you social butterflies.
Thank you Crowbard. She is already a good deal better.
Thank you, Lori. We do seem to doing a good deal of socialising lately.
Regards, Mike.
I once lived on fishcakes for nearly a week when I was around 19.
Never been able to look at one since!
Good luck with today's auction. I hope you get the piece you really want old bean!
Hi 4Ds. No I didn't get the one I'd have really liked (the stonebow). But I did get the naval flintlock pistol (Belgian), and at considerably less than my highest bid. VERY high prices generally. Matt went round and collected it for me, so it was waiting for me when we went and collected Matt yesterday for another short visit.
Cheers, Mike.
