Framlingham is a small farming town with a castle. I will be here for 3 weeks and I have been doing quite a lot of walking. There is a network of footpaths all around the town, through farms and fields.
From someone who is accustomed to walking up the mountain - I really miss that mountain - this is pretty tame walking but it's easy going and each footpath sign beckons you on to the next one and before you know it, you've walked to the next village!
The castle pretty much dominates that town, which I suppose was the intention. There is a mere - a lake broad in relation to it's depth apparently - that supplies water to the castle. Here are a few pics taken from outside. I'll do an "inside the castle" post later.
This must also be one of the prettiest allotment sites in the UK.
And on home - I usually go for a walk after tea - so these shots are taken at about 7.30 in the evening. At this stage of the year I think the UK is getting approximately 5 hours more daylight than Cape Town. Still not really warm enough for summer clothes yet.
So nice to have another post :-)
