Before Tuesday’s day in history, we are off on travels today. 
- First 2 night stop Bury Saint Edmunds, staying at The Old Cannon Brewery (https://www.oldcannonbrewery.co.uk), looking forward to that. 
- Next, off to The Old Palace Lodge in Lincoln for 2 nights (https://theoldpalace.org), mainly to do the cathedral. 
- Lastly, on the journey back home, stopping at the closest place to stay to Babs’ daughter and husband, we are doing 2 nights at The Bedingfeld Arms in Norfolk (https://www.bedingfeldarms.co.uk). Oxburgh Hall is very close to it and Paul & Laura have not yet got to go. 
As usual I will do my best to visit the last 70 wall posting visitors. So, back to this day in history…
