A Trip to Orford Castle, Suffolk - 14th March 2009

Jen Mac from Blackrock, Dublin, is over to visit Isobel and Fred. The morning after a home-made curry night on Friday we head over to Orford, on the Suffolk coast. Once there, we have a poke around inside the interesting building that is Orford Castle - an 11th Century keep built by Henry II, and which it is still possible to actually imagine living in. We follow that with lunch in the nearby Kings Head, before dropping Jen off at Ipswich Station for the coach back to Stansted.
