Relaxing Day in Suffolk







We had a very relaxing day in Ixworth.  Tessa had to work, so we had a bit of a lie-in , and got up after 9.  

Then Millie the spaniel took me for a walk--we had to go where she wanted to go.  We met several of her doggy friends (as well as their people).


Ixworth Church



High Street, Ixworth

We took a second walk about 1:30.

Then about 4:30 Tessa, Lyn and I took Millie on a long walk through the countryside--about 3 miles.




The round house--really more of an octagon.


Oldest farmhouse in the country (parts of it).



Dollie--a poodle mix who looks a lot like Schnicklefritz

Abbeyview--large house with views of ruined Ixworth Abbey.




Horse chestnuts in a conker

English countryside views.










On our way back we passed two young fisherman we had seen on the way out.  They were using bread as bait.  Unfortunately, Millie ran ahead and nicked their bread.  Naughty Millie!

Nice evening and dinner at Tessas were a great ending to a great day.
