It is lightweight but warmer than sheep wool. <br /><br />I am looking forward to seeing more of this town. The list on that timber building is amazing.

The weather was fabulous while we were there - cool and crisp!<br />We had been in Nottingham prior to that, and had snow, sleet and extreme winds. We arrived in Nottingham, not knowing it was Mum's day. We had lunch at a pub, but the fish, chips and mushy peas were great! Also, a Pepsi with lemon and 2 ice cubes.<br />Your pictures bring back very warm memories! My cousin was a colonel in the U.S. Air Force, and spent a lot of time in England. She definitely recommended Lavenham, and I'm so glad she did!Gramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18272261970817312208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-59153999731776121102012-08-23T13:58:15.541+01:002012-08-23T13:58:15.541+01:00I was so intrigued by the wool shop!

They go back to King Henry 14-16 century. I know they call it Wattle an Daub. It's the <br />outside timbers that give the look.<br />Fish and chips sound great.<br />yvonne<br /><br />La Petite Galleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09553902574516930172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-7084795325526963772012-08-22T01:42:08.721+01:002012-08-22T01:42:08.721+01:00Wow, what a fascinating village.

Knowing how you love to stop for tea, it must have been hard to choose where. Any thing made with Alpaca wool here is very expensive and of course I always like what ever is the most costly the best.

This is the England that I love -- the small villages. London was pretty and so impressive, but I just adore the little villages with their higgledy-piggledy shops and houses, and all the wonderful flowers. I would so love to travel there again one day.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing -- will be looking forward to seeing the rest of your holiday photos.<br /><br />DeniseDenise at Forest Manorhttp://houseatforestmanor.blogspot.com/2012/08/mom-and-dads-porch.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3606833213419475387.post-82175260116900299592012-08-20T22:15:17.936+01:002012-08-20T22:15:17.936+01:00Very interesting, Barbara!
