Orford Castle and Ipswich Injections, Suffolk - 18th June 2023

We're in Orford again for a look around the newly-reopened castle, following its renovation with new yellowy-orange render. As well as that, we make an obligatory visit to Pinney's shop for smoked food products, and stop off at the King's Head for a drink. Later in the week, Fred has to bunk off school for a load of top-up injections in Ipswich, so whilst there we also get him a bit of new clobber from Go Outdoors and, er, Asda, and have a bit of late breakfast/early fast-food lunch at KFC.
