Today we again motored over to Polstead and had lunch at the Cock Inn pub on the village green. We'd been reading up on the Red Barn murder of 1827, and found that the inquest on Maria Martin was held in the room where we were lunching. When we'd finished lunch and returned to the car we were much impressed by the little wagonette and pair parked on the green outside the pub. We talked for a while with the owners (and the horses) , found we'd a couple of aquaintances in common (one living, one not), and eventually over took them in the lanes, and waved enough not to frighten the horses as we passed them. Freja (who used to ride as a child) made great friends with the horses, whilst we'd been finding common aquaintances with the owners. A very pleasant encounter.
