Visit England, Nov 10-22

We had a relaxing couple of weeks in Bury St Edmunds, with days out in London, Cambridge and Woodbridge.

Back at my old workplace: Magdalene College, Cambridge.

 

Cambridge's historic Round Church (built around 1130).

 

Our first glimpse of the new addition to the family in Primrose Hill, London.

 

Charlotte and me at the quayside in Woodbridge, Suffolk.

 

Woodbridge's world-famous Tide Mill.

 

A walk along the River Deben.

 

   

   

A 16th-Century house and pub,
the Shire Hall and  St Mary's Parish Church in Woodbridge.

 

Mike and I went on a tour of Bury's Greene King Brewery (founded in 1799)
-  he enjoyed it so much, he went back with the boys a few days later!

 

View from the roof of the brewhouse
(construction of Bury's cathedral tower can be seen on the right).

 

Then for the moment we'd been waiting for: beer-sampling!!

 

Mum and me at Mumtaz.

 

Friday evening in Bury with nephew Benjamin...

 

 ...and niece Isabella.

 

Stopping for a coffee after shopping on Bury market.

 

Joined by Charlotte, Rebecca and baby B.

 

Bedtime for some, dinnertime for others.

 

And Maotai-time for the men (Jay's face says it all!).

 

Saturday night at the Cupola House in Bury.

 

On Sunday, our last day in England.
