Day Twenty Four - Lavenham

Barry thought it would be nice to see some of real England so we all took a drive to Suffolk and to Lavenham - a beautiful old village filled with picturesque buildings and streets.

Relaxing in the Gardens at Chilford Hall

Before we got there, we made a few stops. First at Chilford Hall, an English Winery - yes Winery! We tasted a few white wines and Barry bought one! We then stopped off at at Long Melford for a cold drink and a bit to eat at a little Tea Room on the main street there.

Beautiful old town of Lavenham

Lavenham was a gorgeous place, only enhanced by the blue sky on another warm and sunny summer day in England - we have been very lucky with the weather so far! Some of the buildings there are from 1340!! They made for some good postcard pictures - you wonder how they are still standing and are in the condition that they are after all those years.

The Crooked House at Lavenham

After the drive home we relaxed in the conservatory for a little while before enjoying a family dinner.
