At the time of writing this post (not sure when it will actually get published yet) it is a year since we went to the UK for a couple of weeks.  There are still quite a few topics from that trip that I have not got around to posting about.  One of those was our visit to Bury St Edmunds.  It was a pretty hot day when we were there as the second week of our trip turned in to quite a scorcher.  I had been to Bury St Edmunds before but not for about 30 years.

As town names go, this one isn’t very imaginative.  It is the town in which St Edmund is buried.  I wonder how long they thought about that one.  We didn’t have time to check out the whole town but just got to explore in the area around the cathedral of which more will come another time.  There are ruins in the park area around the cathedral and more churches in close proximity.  If you want to get your worship in, this is the place for you.

There are more modern buildings in the area too but more modern is a relative term.  Still pretty old by the standards of our current home!  The square looked like it was ready for a market to be held but clearly not the day we were there.
