| We took the bus from Tostock to Bury to meet Syd's daughter and husband. This pub in Bury bills itself as the smallest pub in the world. | Syd, his daughter Jill and husband Michael, Bob and I spent the afternoon at the ancient wool town of Lavenham. This is the historic Guild Hall. |

| Lavenham is a town frozen in time. | Another Tudor house, done in historic colors. Note that the timbers are not painted black, as most are. That was a Victorian fancy that missed Lavenham. |

| This color is Suffolk pink, a marker for Suffolk County homes. | The Swan hotel and restaurant meanders down the main road in Lavenham. |
