A year tick at Helmingham Hall

Peter, Sue, Linda and I had a terrific day at the country fair at Helmingham Hall near Bury St Edmunds. We bought lots of lovely plants and artwork, and enjoyed some great 'street food', as well as encountering some interesting wildlife: Large Red Damselfly, Red Kite, House Martin and - best of all - the first Spotted Flycatcher of the year. I added some new Sundews to the insectivorous plant collection, courtesy of our old friend Steve at Predator Plants: he is just the best!

On the way home we stopped at Yoxford to marvel at the twenty-six foot bronze Yoxford Man: a very impressive sight right by the A12. Home for Retsina and Greek snacks on the patio: a grand day out!
