title A Quest for the Fabled Swimming Spot, Hoxne, Suffolk - 29th May 2023 intro Isobel has another crack at finding the fabled swimming spot on the River Waveney, somewhere on the edge of Hoxne. The attempt is ultimately doomed, however it's a nice walk/cycle around and, as we stop for a couple of beers at the Swan Inn, we get some local intel with definitive directions for the next attempt, hopefully sometime before Evelyn's visit later in the summer. Later, Nosher and Mick the Brick are off to the Railway Tavern in Mellis, as the Yaxley Cherry Tree has closed for a few weeks. imgp0025 Harry's actually on his bike again imgp0026 Isobel cycles past the lych gate of Hoxne church imgp0028 Isobel checks the map, as we look for the river imgp0029 On the path leading from Water Mill Lane imgp0031 The mill across the meadow imgp0032 A watermeadow in flower imgp0033 The River Waveney near Hoxne imgp0035 The Water Mill at Hoxne imgp0038 Derelict farm buildings by the footpath imgp0040 There's a cat on the roof at the Hoxne Swan imgp0041 Isobel returns from a bit of an explore imgp0044 Isobel cycles up Low Street in Hoxne imgp0047 A building with a very flat Dutch gable end imgp0049 The Oaksmere's got a load of lavender imgp0051 The greenhouse base is complete at last imgp0052 Mick the Brick wanders back from his bench imgp0053 Mick readies his bike for a trip to the Railway imgp0054 We're at the Mellis Railway, as the Tree is closed imgp0055 Flowers around the village sign imgp0057 Mick the Brick unlocks the bikes imgp3685 Molly - Tiny Cat - is in her favourite spot
