This blog is about my life in Suffolk. I share with you the things I see and do and also my views and opinions. These views and opinions are mine and have generally been thought out before I express them. However, if there is something you disagree with or wish to discuss with me I am only too pleased to hear your side and review my ideas if necessary.

During a lull in the first year of the pandemic we managed to get our loft re-insulated. We cleared the area of all our stored boxes and bags and also disposed of a large amount things we no longer needed as well as spare tiles and other...
This last autumn and winter have been especially wet, so walking from home has not often been possible because of the mud and deep puddles everywhere. In fact, I don’t think I have walked along our lanes since the autumn, though Richard...
Bungay Castle gate towers In my post about Mettingham Castle (https://asuffolklane.wordpress.com/2023/05/15/mettingham-castle/) I mentioned that I visited a cafe next to Bungay Castle and had a cup of tea there. For my first post in six...
Last May, just over a year ago, I had to take my car to the garage to have new brake discs and pads fitted. Instead of going back home to wait for the work to be done (which would have meant Richard having to get involved) I decided to...
