Village life

Bramford village is an easy place to live in.  There is a corner shop, well small supermarket really, up the road and round the corner although we found our fav supermarket 'Waitrose' today in Ipswich.  There was also market stalls in Ipswich town centre selling amongst other things fresh fruit and veg and so cheap.  The market stalls operate four days a week so that is a good thing for us except we have to find cheaper parking otherwise it makes the fruit and veg not so cheap.

There is a local pub up the road and round the corner as well 'The Bramford Cock'.  We have not visited the pub as yet, I am sure we will by the end of the week.

I have found a couple of walks to do around the village - will start investigating further tomorrow morning.  It will be nice to do a morning walk again, my routine in a previous (Australian) life.

By mid morning today the sun came out.  It has been a few days.  It was warming to sit out the front of the house (with Florence) and soak it up.  While I was soaking up the sun Jim was watching the Brumbies vs Lions rugby match.  He was extremely happy with the Brumbies winning - his team.

As far as watering the garden and allotment we haven't had to as yet because since we arrived as it has rained every day either during the day or overnight.  I have been to the allotment twice to cut asparagus for dinner.  The broadbeans will be ready to pick in the next few days and the strawberries are turning red.  What a treat!
