8 June 2026 (Monday) - Long Melford

The dogs stayed asleep until half past seven this morning which was something of a result. When at home they spend so much of the day asleep; they are constantly on the go here. Little Bailey is particularly showing the strain of it all.
 
We got up and played silly beggars charging round a damp garden, and as brekkie was prepared so the rain stopped and started. Brekkie was particularly good, and with that scoffed we thought about going out. But the rain had come back. We (I) had a little doze in the conservatory, and eventually the rain held off long enough for us to decide to take a chance.
 
We drove down to nearby Long Melford where we had a little walk along a very long village. There were two geocaching adventure lab series there which gave us a good walk. The first one took us to the top end of the village . We then tried a puzzle geocache at the church. It was a huge church; almost cathedral sized, but with a very strong smell of cannabis. What was that all about? The puzzle geocache was rather rubbish; we had to find five bits of information from the church and the graves. We found two, Googled two, and guessed one.
But we found what we were looking for, and had an ice cream to celebrate.
 
From there we walked the bottom end of the village; it was rather pretty. And with walk walked it was only a five minute drive to the Nethergate brewery where we went on Friday. We needed supplies, and while we were there we had a little drinkie. A pint of mild, and a pint of lager-coloured stout. It was odd!!
 
We then came back to base for a bit of a rest and a very good late dinner. And a couple of games of 3-D blokus…
 
I took a few photos as we went round today
