Lovely pics BL - so much colour - looks like you had fun on the horsies and were a bit luckier with the weather!
We're planning a bike ride for next week (if it warms up) which will include the pub you and Dove visited (purely for the purposes of ensuring we don't suffer from dehydration of course...). Will probably pop into the church too (as I think you did) - I think it has a 'good' font?
Heaven is ... sitting in the garden with a G&T and a cat while watching the sun go down
I belong to several Suffolk church crawling groups BL - just love medieval architecture / wood / glass etc and the sense of history that comes from standing next to a font where babies in a village have been baptised for nearly a thousand years (sometimes longer). To sit in a medieval pew and stroke the bench ends where a thousand hands have stroked before...
As a friend reminds me - they can't arrest you for stroking stone and wood...

It has a superb font - Wonky was christened there a good while back and married there three years ago next week - I sang in the choir there for years and years - it has a remarkably rude lectern, box family pews with doors where small children can be kept entertained with Dinky toys and lego during long sermons, and specially designated areas at the back for Young Men and Boys had to sit, out of harm's way.
Opposite the church is the Guildhall which houses the village museum which is well worth a visit http://laxfieldmuseum.onesuffolk.net/ . Allow yourselves plenty of time to visit Laxfield

Isn't that carousel fun! I've been riding on that since I was quite young, and Wonky went on there before she was born

They were, Jo, and plenty more.
Lovely church Topbird, lots of lovely churches in Suffolk. We loved Suffolk. But then I was born there! Great beer in that pub.
