Phew!

Goodness me, it’s hot. It’s a lot hotter in South Carolina though and we’re able to keep an eye on the temperature there as we have an old friend from Lexington staying with us. She’s become an intrepid traveller spending a week in Kent, visiting London, Whitstable and Canterbury before taking Eurostar to Paris – and now in sunny Felixstowe. So of course we took a trip to Norwich yesterday, lunching at Bread Source and wandering the cobbled streets. She missed out on macarons in Paris so we sampled a selection for dessert last night. Today the National Trust will entertain and inform us at Sutton Hoo. Catching up with her family news has been a joy – who knew a farm with horses and chickens/hens could have a vicious rooster?! He attacked so many people, old and young, that he was finally(summarily) dispatched. I’ll spare you the details, but could he have been plucked and eaten, or would he have been a tough old bird? We shall never know 😉
