Tuesday trip!

Over the winter our weekly excursions have gone by the wayside – till this week. The lighter days certainly bring a feeling of Spring so we decided to take a nostalgic trip to Hollesley, pronounce “Hosely”. It’s where I was born and where, after moving several times in childhood, my family eventually returned. We were married at the tiny windswept church within sight of the sea at Shingle Street. From Hollesley we drove to Melton for a delicious lunch at the Horse and Groom before continuing to Woodbridge, where I worked for many years. It’s a pretty little town on the River Deben, just across from Sutton Hoo where a Saxon burial ship was excavated by Basil Brown in 1939. All the treasures can be seen in the British Museum, but the site is run by the National trust so I know lunch will be good when we visit…maybe next week? x
