Lavenham...

Driving from Hadleigh to Lavenham this morning, a man flagged me down. I stopped; “Give it a minute”, he said. Another man appeared, marshalling a duck and her ducklings safely across the road. What a great way to start the day…

Lavenham is picture postcard pretty, especially early on, before the cars had filled up every available parking space. I got touristy shots of some of the half-timbered houses (there are about 300 in the town, I was told), and then carried on doing more pix… showing how traffic can bring the place to a standstill… how we now do our shopping, with supermarket delivery vans scooting around… how these old buildings are being renovated… etc. There are so many types of pix to be shot in a place like this, on a day like this: everyday life in a small market town…
