Sutton Hoo, Jacob Sheep, Bike




Sutton Hoo

A beautiful blue sky and strong gusts of wind as I walked upstream to the Wilford Bridge and then down the opposite side to the Sutton Hoo Burial site, run by the National Trust. An excellent visitor centre with a full size copy part of the ship with its cabin, the chieftain lying inside surrounded by his riches and weapons; a film; lots of detail on the jewelry; stands showing the way of life at the time; copies of the clothes of the time that can be worn for photos.

Well worth a visit with lots of stuff for children. Large restaurant – very busy.















Jacob Sheep

In a field next to the visitor centre were some almost fantastic Jacob Sheep.

Bike     





I'm getting a foldaway bike like this next Tuesday. Part of getting fit plan. I realise I haven't been exercising since the old folks died over a year ago. I used to swim most mornings, up to a mile. I'll bike down to the Woodbridge swimming pool and get back in to the routine.
