Cheers,
Happy Passover to those who celebrate. There’s no synagogue in Ipswich or Suffolk for that matter; however the local Sainsbury sells matzos. Here is some interesting Jewish history about Ipswich.

After visiting a number of churches in Ipswich I wondered if there were a synagogue. Nope, not since 1877 when the derelict synagogue was […]

Christchurch Park
Cheers,
Wednesday we made a final, very quick trip to London. Randal had ordered a book from UK Amazon that arrived at SKD after we’d left. Rick and Mary had to go to London to catch a train for Gatwick Airport for their flight home to Turkey. We were in London long enough to walk […]
A walk to Westerfiled
Cheers,
As Mary and Rick had spent time in Ipswich a few years ago, they know the area pretty well. So off we went on a hike over hill and dale. Actually more like city and country, but you get the idea. The weather truly cooperated as there was a 40% chance of rain. But […]
Lunch and Long Melford Hall
Cheers,
Just in time for baseball season I have a new Boston Red Sox sweatshirt!

My “new to me” Red Sox Sweatshirt!
During our passage from London to Ipswich I’d worn my much loved but very noticably worn Red Sox “hoodie.” Well, the middle of last week a package came for me! An absolute total surprise!! […]
Adventures near and far….
Cheers,
Yesterday, Friday, Mary led Rick, Randal and me on an adventure to Long Melford. We were all a bit skeptical as it took two buses to get us there; but it was a really fun day. This email is part 1.
And………
Although we bought land while we were home, as we still at this point […]
William Morris Gallery in Walthamstowe with Andrew
Cheers,
Guess what? I got a library card at the Ipswich Public Library! Just with my VA driver’s license. How neat is that? There are about a billion charity shops here in Ipswich center, all selling books, but none with the choices of a library so a card will be great while we’re here. Yippee!

First glimpse of Ipswich
Cheers,
Daylight savings began here this morning. And so did spring! It was a lovely light sweater day. Yesterday was the Saturday street market in front of the Town Hall. Today we went exploring Chirstchurch Park and the shops of High Street. This evening Mary cooked up a lovely lamb steaks, mashed potatoes and broccoli-cauliflower […]
Good-bye London. Hello Ipswich.
Cheers,
It was truly a wonderful experience being in London. We made friends, saw incredible places, enjoyed walks along the Thames and into the funky places of Whitechapel and Shoreditch. Tower Hill to Charing Cross was a favorite walk for us too. I loved my Toynbee Hall Life Drawing group and the welcome of the […]
Jane Rick and “tour de Richmond”
Cheers,
Soon I’ll be writing from Ipswich! We leave SKD mid-morning Thursday for the 2 day passage. Maybe with the slower pace of Ipswich I’ll catch up on some of my London stories.
This email is about our visit with Jane and Rick (the 3rd Jane) in Richmond. Later this morning Mary, Rick, Randal and […]
Jane and Jane Young and Parker
Cheers,
Life has been full of family and friends! My nephew Andrew visited for a week and now our Marmaris Dead End Trail Hiking Gang pals, Rick and Mary are here with us. They will stay aboard and help us make the passage from London to Ipswich. They arrived Friday about noon. Coincidentally my many years […]
