A Trip to Orford Castle, Suffolk - 14th March 2009
Jen McG, off of Dublin, is over to visit Isobel and Fred. After Nosher rustles up a massive Indian food-fest on Friday, we head over, on Saturday morning, to Orford, on the Suffolk coast, for a bit of R&R. We have a poke around inside the interesting building that is Orford Castle - an 11th Century keep built by Henry II - and which it is still possible to actually imagine living in (it would want a window or two, maybe). We follow that with a spot of lunch in the nearby Kings Head, before dropping Jen off at Ipswich Station for the coach back to Stansted.
