...even an end...

Where do I start? At the beginning I suppose.

Had such a brilliant holiday even though it began very stressfully. My beloved Volkswagon needed £600 of repairs to its poorly head gasket and was only ready the day before we left.

We drove down to Suffolk, which doesn't look far on the map, but takes three and a half hours due to the rubbish roads in Lincolnshire.

Bucks Farm is lovely. It's a courtyard of cottages with a pool, next to the owners house which dates back to 1541. It so happens that the owner- Ian, an ex teacher, knows virtually everyone that I know from our mutual home town, we spent all week talking about various aquaintances and relations. Between us there is not a person in East Retford we cannot pinpoint! Such a nice bloke, we got on really well.

We spent quite alot of time resting as Mrs Somers needs it ! -but did visit some very interesting Suffolk sites, more pix to follow...
