Wednesday

Good morning one and all.  It's a lovely, sunny, mild start to the day and I've had the windows wide open to catch the freshness.  I hope it lasts!

Yesterday was just a happy sort of day.  Lots of pottering around, organising stuff, managing stuff, etc.

I finally got round to applying for my new driving licence (you know - for when I am officially old in just over a week's time)  Yes, I have left it rather late but it was one of those things that I kept putting off, putting off, etc.  I wanted to do it online and it said I would need a photo (because my current licence is of the very old, paper only kind) and I was stressing about that.  I already had some passport style photos  and scanned one into my PC so I could attach it to the paperwork, took a deep breath and started.  Much to my annoyance, it said they could grab my photo and signature from my passport!!!  All that stressing for nothing.  Anyway, it's in the pipeline, it's been acknowledged, so I will be legal to drive on my birthday!

Honestly - the things I stress about!  So stupid really.  Do you have irrational stressy things?

I looked up places to visit and now have a nice little list to choose from.

They include one day 'doing' the area around the Premier Inn - the shops, the abbey, the other big church, Moyse Hall Museum, the abbey ruins and the gardens, etc.

Then there's:

West Stow Country Park and village

Lavenham

Ickworth

Anglesea Abbey

Bardwell windmill

So I won't be short of places to go to and most of them don't seem to be closed on Easter Sunday.  I definitely want to do West Stow and Ickworth so that's probably my three days sorted as each of those will be pretty much a day.  I have to check the opening times as they are bound to be busy over the holiday weekend and I will want to get there early.   I'll probably do the local stuff on Friday.

Let's hope the weather plays ball.

Any of my regular readers who live local - if you'd like to meet up for a coffee and chat in town, just shout.  Sue???

Today there's a bit more to do - I have personal training and I am off to a 'Make an Easter Arrangement' evening - like the wreath workshop I went to before Christmas, done by the same people.  I know I'm going away - I will take it with me!

This morning I want to pop to a nearby garden centre as tomorrow is my friend, Christine's birthday.  She loves her garden so I think a nice plant would be just the ticket.  I said I'd bring something tasty over to our chat tomorrow so I want to see what deliciousness they have in the shop.  

In between all of that, I will just make sure things are absolutely ready for my lovely house sitter and for departure.  Last week I was thinking 'do I really want a weekend break next week?' but this week I am so looking forward to it.

Have a super day, everyone.
