Hired a van for the weekend and headed eastwards to the delightful Saffron Walden (following a 7.30 swim and trip to IKEA). a large town with a Tudor heart, and the oldest lawn maze in the UK. there was a strange wee market which included a man selling old tools from the days when all craft was done by hand and a tradesman even made his own tools. Fascinating. We bought a scythe.
Was supposed to have gone to Audley End and the miniature railway but as yours truly didn't check first, nothing was open till the following week! Still, we had a drive around the grounds and it all looked amazing and now we know when it is open and that trains from London stop there so worth a trip when madre arrives.
