An Englishman in Stansted

We finally made it to stay with our friends Big Dave & Shan (and see Vanna, Si, Gemma, Phil & Imogen of course), and discovered what a lovely part of England they live in.

You can't be with the Essex gang without a drink though!

The Guildhall in Thaxted

and its old lock-up for disorderly revellers!
We discovered Essex rendering, on many of the buildings in the town
A short walk from the town centre, a wonderful windmill...
...where we were lucky enough to look around as the man with the key just happened to be there!
Lots of memorabilia on show...
...and the mill has been renovated to full working order.
Just a reminder that Stansted Airport isn't far away
A coffee break in Finchingfield...
...with its roadsign to Steeple Bumpstead. We must visit there next time!
Back to Stansted Mountfitchet and it's own windmill
Next day, all ready for the taxi and adventure before dementia

Next post: An Englishman in India, coming to a device near you soon!
