The most giggling circle it was as we recounted our homework, our take outs from our Elders outing to Edge and Lil’s house. Here are are few moments
- Those thick walls of Lil’s home, and that beautiful wood
- Edge: We were suddenly in the middle of Thailand at Edge.
- Edge: Never use reverse lettering
- Edge: Not very Suffolk
- Lil’s passive house, that used no heat in winter and was cool in summer.
- Lil’s land a series of rooms with a collection of cabins
- Colin – who could not see the beans at Lil’s promised us to do some more bean germination next spring
- Inspired by the air bnb home, my dream of owning a piece of land was nourished here
- I’d heard of the cob house at Ringsfield Hall, so interesting to see one here too
- Edge: Landed at the White Lotus
- Ground so hot under my feet felt like I was in Spaim
- Both places such a contrast
- Edge: Horrible, expensive (I chose the most expensive thing on the menu. It was 5, no it was 4.70); we had to queue to order, the umbrella fell on us. The iced coffee was full of ice and tasteless
Then Gill told us this story: I was telling Ken about this place we’d been to. ‘We’ve been there before,’ he said to me. Indeed we had. Lil’s husband bought a piece of furniture from us, a painted faux bambo linnen press, and we delivered it to here, when it was being built’.
Who knew: Gill and Ken were married in Ringsfield church. “It was Ken’s birthday, and I didn’t know what to do for it. So I hatched a plan. It was all a surprise. I said we needed to go to Lowestoft and get some prawns. Once there I proposed to him. We got married in a registry office. He was so ‘gobsmacked’ he didn’t speak except to say I will. Then we drove on to Ringsfield Church, where all our friends were waiting – Ken could not believe it, seeing all these people here. They’d all been sworn to secrecy. Some found it so difficult they had deliberately stayed out of our way for weeks before.
