Flatford Mill, in Constable Country (4K)

[@annturrell8858]

Thanks for that David, it brought back memories of the same trip we did a few years ago, only the weather wasn`t quite as nice as that. While we were in Suffolk we also visited Lavenham, beautiful place, never seen so many timber framed houses, well worth a visit.

I have been there some years back but I'll go back sometime.

[@annturrell8858]

@@arcadia449 Yes, I thought that you had probably been there too.

Thank you Kitty.

Thanks again David. It´s almost as though you read my mind @ 1:14, I thought I wonder if he´s gonna focus in on that wonderful light timbered house on the left, ...though it´s now looking a bit neglected with the overgrown foliage at the front compared to when I saw it 5 or 6 years ago.

4:21 around 2001-2002 I stayed in that cottage with my primary school it’s the only trip I remember in full detail I stayed in the bottom room top bunk right hand side of the door and everyone was scared because of the branches hitting the windows 😂 my best my favourite memory was setting mammal traps I caught a vole 😂 I’ll never forget it

[@arcadia449]

Good, I just sent you another list of pretty villages/ towns in England. I didn’t sent them all as they wouldn’t fit - but there’s loads there!

[@CamcorderSteve]

Lovely video David. I assume the young lady with the blue rucksack is your wife? Every time I attempt to video my wife walking away from the camera, she goes a few yards, stops pulls out her camera to take pictures and ruins my shot!! Either that or she stops to look behind her to see where I am. Any tips for training her up?!!

[@arcadia449]

Yes she is. Hard to keep up with her sometimes.
