@nemesisnow1200:

nice lookin tree/bush type thingy though

Spoken like a true horticulturalist!

[Seul]

I dunno whether it was intentional but those wisterias really do attract all sorts of butterflies!..

We are in Suffolk for the weekend with friends.  There will be a big update from Mme B tomorrow (if I can drag her out of the bar), here is a little taster….

[rocket]

….

have fun...

[Seul]

[Chris]

Ah, nautical humor…

[Finn666]

so good 

*talking bout Paula, not the name of the boat btw.! 

[Giles]

Mme B is working her butt off sorting orders etc out, so the task of posting has been delegated too me because apparently, I am doing "Feck all"…..

We are on the East Coast of England in a county called Suffolk in a village called Orford for the week end...The castle next door.  It is more of a keep house but impressive nonetheless

The village is full of houses and cottages like this.  We love it…..

In fact, I have decided I want this one

And that is the view from "our new home"

The Orford Harley

This place is run by a lovely couple, he fishes, she sells the catch.  We'll hit here before we leave on Sunday and stock up…

You can never bee too prepared for that rogue high tide…

Absolutely nothing in Orford is fast…

Looks old, but was built in the late 19th century

On the site of a 12th century church.  Note how the flying buttresses go straight through the old church walls.  I can imagine the Victorian builder going "Oh feck it, it's only old shit anyway"

[rocket]

looking nice there around…

Great genteel British countryside, the kind that I associate with the crime stories of Agatha Christie or Francis Durbridge, big fascinations of my teenage years, and responsible for making me an incurable Anglophile. Love it!

[Seul]

So: you're actually buying that house?.. Looks phenomenal and that view is brilliant!.. Of course you àlways have a great view with Mme Buttonfly in the house…

[Giles]

No, it was a joke,  I'd love to, but it's prob a bit outside our league…

[Seul]

Yep - that's what I thought… I mean: had you told me one can afford to buy one of these on the cheap, I'd be on a fecking ferry right now...

[Giles]

And a lot closer to you than Gosport…..

[Giles]

We had a fascinating day today.  We spent this morning on Orford Ness.  It is the largest shingle spit in Europe and has a long history of weapons testing.  Load of Nuke testing in the 50's.  Pretty spooky but stunningly evocative place.  More pics will follow.

And there is still a lot of unexploded ordnance lying around…Oh and it was feckin windy....

[Seul]

On a roll with the brilliant signals and signs!.. And views…

[Giles]

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah - we get the message…

One of our small Cold War Nukes….
