I enjoyed your photos which stirred faint memories, but my greatest memory is that I sat down by a little pond outside the castle and somehow left my wallet containing my passport, credit card and $$ there. As I was on a coach trip from Cambridge, I didn't miss it! A lovely family found it and turned it in to the police. The police took their time about mailing it to me at Cambridge, but it just got there in time for me to return home...I had some correspondence with the lovely family and am still grateful to them.Dixie Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05137137354422188659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-76760464734015303462021-08-19T01:10:47.279+01:002021-08-19T01:10:47.279+01:00What a lovely day out together.

After more than a year of complete freedom from Covid, New Zealand has active cases, and what looks like it's going to be a major outbreak. We've all been put into 3 day lockdown - 7 days for Auckland where it was first detected - but that's almost sure to be extended, as it's becoming evident how many, especially young people, have the virus. Big breath, shoulders back, we can do this! <br /><br />Thanks for showing us Framlingham castle, it's not one we've visited. Like others, I do enjoy the intricate brickwork on those chimneys. They must have been such skilled artisans.

From your photos, it appears not much has changed (why should it?), but it was a fun place to go with them, imagining what life was like, especially when we were walking on the ramparts. We enjoyed it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11587652444835060129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-38872727907259216772021-08-18T08:12:22.099+01:002021-08-18T08:12:22.099+01:00I to liked the chimneys reminder me of those at Ha...I to liked the chimneys reminder me of those at Hampton Court. <br />An interesting day out and so pleased it stayed dry.<br />Hazel 🌈🌈hazel c UK https://www.blogger.com/profile/01638654030434369177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-86489907204875125532021-08-18T08:04:02.107+01:002021-08-18T08:04:02.107+01:00beautiful chimneys, no idea why but they really go...beautiful chimneys, no idea why but they really got my attention!
