Lavenham, UK

Part of our journey through the UK is to visit some of the places our ancestors inhabited. First off the block was Lavenham in Suffolk.

The village has the distinction of being very cute and of being used as a filming location in Harry Potter films.

Apart from language and getting reacquainted with driving on the left hand side of the road, the biggest difference we are having to get to grips with is the number and enthusiasm of parking wardens. We obliterated our weekly budget by getting a 50 quid fine on our first day back, and it was only due to Tony laying on the charm (that was a joke) that we avoided copping another fine. The fine was for parking over the marked lines, notwithstanding the facts that there were no other cars near us and our van was too fat to fit in the carpark.

The sooner we make it to Scotland the better.


The above buildings were both used in Harry Potter films - 'Harry Potter in the Deathly Hallows, Part 1 and 2).
