Lakenheath Tuesday

[mark17]

Hi all,

I made the fairly long trek from Manchester down to Suffolk on Tuesday for my 1st outing this year, four seasons in one day summed up the day weather wise, but the sun shone when the 22s arrived

Is that the wrecked house down the lane past the church ? Never ventured quite that far down that road but the shots look worth the walk.

Location to add to the list for my next visit methinks.
