What are you all up to

Not been on here for a few days. We went on one of our U3A church visits on Thursday to the village church in Ufford. It was sadly closed some years ago but has been taken over by The Churches Conservation Trust so it very well looked after and maintained. A very knowledgeable gentleman gave us a very good talk and a tour round and then we all went across the road to the village hall for tea and cake. On Friday I met up with a friend for lunch. We hadn't met up for a while as she has not been at all well this winter so it was nice to see her on good form again.
I love all your photos @nelliethehooker. You mentioned that you had been to Thorney. The estate of Thorney passed to the Russell family after the Dissolution of the Monasteries and one of the later Earls of Bedford built the village as 'Model' Estate Village for his workers One of the earlier Earls was heavily involved with the drainage of the Fens and a number of people came across from the Continent - mainly Walloons - and there are still some 'foreign' sounding surnames around to this day. It is a very interesting village. We love Peckover as well. We sometimes pop over there for a wander round the gardens and a cup of tea in the summer.
What a debacle over your OH's hip operation @DavidKlyne. It beggars belief. I hope it all gets sorted out soon.

Tbanks for the information @milliehull we did notice a few unusual names when we were walking around the graveyard. It is a very interesting village, well worth a visit.
Cheers all for the comments about the photos.
@richardandros good to read that you got home ok after a fine week away. Sorry to read that there has been no improvement in your friend's health. Hope that your doctor and give you good news about your blood tests and can help with easing your painful joints.
Glad you had an easy drive home and a good time during your stay at Southport and Blackpool, @Francis

@DEBSC hope that it isn't too long before you feel well enough to get up to your caravan.
We had a walk in the Holkham estate today from the South Lodge up the Obelisk and onto the Park. Had a quick look at The Temple on the way back to the car. After lunch visited Creake Abbey and had another short walk before heading back to the van. Site full again tonight, one van left and another arrived.
Holkham Hall, The Temple and the Obelisk.
