My Top 10 Favourite Cars!

Car Wheel
I will be the first to admit I know nothing about cars and my family and friends will agree. Anyone who has ever told me they have bought a new car will usually hear me say "That's great...what colour is it?"

My Highlights of Pigs Gone Wild 2016

Pigs Gone Wild in Ipswich!
Well the sculptures on the Pigs Gone Wild art trail have now disappeared and people seem to be missing them! It's been a great summer in Ipswich and so fantastic to see the town with its very own art trail. I first discovered art trails on a trip to Bristol in 2015. It created quite a buzz with visitors to the city and made an amazing amount for charity at auction so when I heard Ipswic...

Tide Mill Woodbridge
Woodbridge Tide Mill My visit to the Woodbridge Tide Mill was on a particularly damp and drizzly day, but actually once inside, the weather didn't matter so much as I had lots to see and keep me busy whilst sheltering from the rain!

Abbey Gardens, Bury St Edmunds

Abbey Gardens, Bury St Edmunds
Where to start with Abbey Gardens? I know I say it often but yes this is another of my favorite places in Suffolk! I have got to know Abbey Gardens quite well over recent years...or so I thought. I usually meet one of my best friends there several times a year as it happens to be halfway between where we both live.
