23 July High Town House CL site.Showers immaculate 5min. for £1.

Used the park and ride to get into Cambridge £3 each free for Bugzy. Bess hurried up the stairs and was very satisfied with sitting on my lap and looking out from the top deck with covid no-one was upstairs. We did The Backs, an area behind the Colleges with large open lawns and mature trees. Bess stretched out in the shade as we tucked into a picnic lunch and then managed to greet the gate keeper of Trinity College twice. Roy was put off by some work being done and the map showed a part that we could have walked if things were normal but they aren’t.

Cambridge Botanical garden wild flower bed and daisy bed were special in July. I was fascinated by Sir Isaac Newton’s tree.

After 4 nights at Phillimoor we went on to spend a night at High Town House in Rattlesden in Suffolk. Where a full moon rose and set outside Bugzy’s windows. I knew about this because I managed to fall flat on my chest that evening and the pain only started to come through that night.At least I had the romantic moon shine.

The Italian gardens and grounds of Ickworth were then explored from here. It was so hot that the sheep hardly budged when Bess and Roy walked past.

Our last day, Friday we spent at Lavenham the best preserved Medieval village in Britain.. The ancient buildings their colours and charm captured our imaginations of a time when things were crafted. A smock in the museum made for a man to work in the field is a fine example.

Bess was left in Bugzy while we explored the town we then took her to lunch with us where she promptly charmed the waitress who gave her dog biscuits and a bowl of water. A diner on the next table then asked for a cuddle and Bess with a wagging tail obliged. She then sat happily watching people go by greeting the occasional dog. Brits seem to travel with their dogs most motor home owners have one. Super for us.

After a lunch of sweet potatoe pie with cheese sauce and steamed seasonal vegetables, which we enjoyed from a hotel in the main square, we drove home. We arrived back at 6pm with 3 hours to get ready for Sabbath.
