Spent a fine afternoon in Lavenham taking Mrs _Fitz_ to see the Guildhall and then round the antiques shops - well lets just say it was more being dragged around the antiques shops than anything.
We seem to have arrived on the day of the annual Blue Rinse Convention as it was hard to find a tea shoppe which was not packed with old dears having a gaye aulde time.
Anyway we settled on the Sweat Meats Tea Shoppe just off the beaten track and check out the size of their scones!
Other fascinating things we learned in Lavenham: Lavenham does not have a cash point per se, instead you have to trudge up the hill to Ye Co-Oppe and purchase something over £2 then get "cash back". Also back when Lavenham was a booming industry for wool (4 or 500 years ago), the material was thickened with either soap or urine.
Well, at the end of this lovely and educational afternoon and seeing lots of Olde stuffe we gots to go for this cache. Parked as suggested and made our way across the slightly muddy but still thawing out field and quickly located the hide. Had to wait for a friendly dog-walking roamer to pass by, at which pleasantries were exchanged whilst the dog helped himself to a sniff of my crotch.
Retrieved cache, signed log and off we went. It was nice to have this to look forward to at the end of the day. Hope there are more to come in this pleasant little town so rich with history and 17th Century drunk builders.
Time to get my coat, mines the yellow coloured one with the faint pee pee smell!
