A Weekend at the Angel Hotel, Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk - 5th June 2021

We spend a night in a suite at the Angel Hotel on Abbeygate in Bury St. Edmunds, as a change from the restrictions of lockdown. Whilst there, we wander around the market and buy some bread and olives for a random pre-dinner picnic in Abbey Gardens, and then we take the boys out for pizza in Pizza Express.
