Thursday 1.

Two more of the photos taken in Thaxted. Above is of cobbled lane leading up towards the Church.

The above photo is of the side of the Guildhall. To the left is the open area at the front of the Guildhall, which I should think was originally used as a Market Hall, or a shambles. The door in the lower centre of the picture obviously gave onto the town lockup. The whole town is a glorious survival of ancient buildings.

Had a good and busy day at Long Melford yesterday. Started off by buying a very attractive lantern clock. Needs a good deal of work on it, but I set it up when we got home late  yesterday afternoon and the clock's been ticking away ever since - which is a good start.  Had a good, busy, and potentially profitable  day after that. Today I've been pottering in the workshop, walking into town, and then taking down the Christmas cards and Christmas tree.  Being called upstairs for supper now. Bit more later perhaps.
