We went to one of our favourite places as it was my husband's birthday - Sutton Hoo
You will see from this and my wordy blog that we go there a lot as it is close by and a lot of it is very wheelchair friendly. Hubby can borrow an electric buggy there to go round the shorter walk and we both quite like the restaurant and it is somewhere that we can go for a walk together without him struggling or me pushing. So it wasn't exactly a special birthday treat as we might well have gone anyway, but we don't always have lunch there so that was. He had the Suffolk Rarebit with Salad and I had the Stilton and Roasted Vegetable Tart with Roast Potatoes and Salad. It was very good.
In the exhibition centre, in addition to all the usual displays, there was a collection of drawings and ephemera of Victor Ambrus, who is an artist who works on the "Time Team" programme on television which is about archaeology. I don't know if my US readers know of this programme or the artist, but if you would like to you can find out more HERE
We had to have our lunch rather early as when we got there we found that there was a lecture lunch planned so 50 spaces in the restaurant were reserved for that at 1:00. We went for our usual sprint round the mounds and after lunch looked at the exhibition and the gift shop. My photos show the famous Sutton Hoo Helmet plus a few views from the restaurant terrace (yes, it was warm enough to sit outside!) but hubby is shy and doesn't want me to put his photo on my blog, although I sneaked his ear in! There are more photos tagged as Sutton Hoo on Just Jotting Along
I put the photos together for the Monday Mosaic If you would like to see other people's photos for this week go HERE
If you are paying me a visit leave a comment and I will try to visit you when I get up tomorrow, in the UK it's past my bedtime already!
