title A Trip to Orford Castle, Orford, Suffolk - 26th February 2022 intro We drive over to Orford for a few hours' visit. First, we're in Pinney's to get some smoked food products, then after that we go for a walk along the coast path, do a trip to the castle - which is covered in scaffolding as it's having its render replaced - and then stop for a drink in the King's Head pub. On the way back to the car park we have a quick look at the church of St. Bartholemew and its recent-ish new organ. imgp2332 We look at smoked fish in Pinney's of Orford imgp2334 Fred looks around in the shop imgp2335 Boats in the boatyard imgp2341 We head off around the coast path again imgp2342 The River Alde imgp2343 Looking back at Orford Quay imgp2344 There's a decayed wooden backbone in the mud imgp2345 Grasses waves around in the breeze imgp2346 On the path to Orford imgp2347 The Orford Methodist Church on Broad Street imgp2349 Harry has a picnic in a tree imgp2350 Orford Castle has a major scaffolding job on imgp2353 There's also a huge scaffolding pier imgp2355 Isobel pokes around by the base of the keep imgp2356 Harry walks through the safety corridor imgp2358 There's an interactive model of the castle imgp2360 One of the castle's chambers has a toilet hole imgp2363 Some local Roman coins in the museum imgp2364 Isobel and Harry in the lower hall imgp2366 Curious mounds on Orford Ness imgp2369 The MV Lady Florence heads out on a cruise imgp2370 Harry listens to his audio guide in the bakery imgp2377 Isobel on the Motte imgp2384 There's a glove stuck on an iron railing imgp2386 The Orford community centre imgp2387 There's an honesty-system library imgp2388 We visit the King's Head for a drink imgp2389 Fred does some origami, Harry does drawing imgp2393 We hang out in the King's Head for a bit imgp2396 Harry works on a house of cards imgp2402 The boys concentrate on card-house building imgp2407 Isobel has a go too imgp2416 The impressive Peter Collins organ imgp2417 The Collins organ in St. Bartholemew's Church imgp2419 Isobel roams around the 12th Century Chancel imgp2422 Fred does hide and seek with Harry imgp2428 Saxtead Green Post Mill in the dusk imgp2429 The sunset behind Saxtead Mill imgp2432 Another view of the post mill in the dusk
