On Saturday we went to Framlingham Castle. Framlingham Castle is a Norman castle. We went up to the top. Here are some photos:
We also went to Sutton Hoo. When I was doing my journal I made up some jokes about the name. One of the jokes went like this:
A: Knock knock
B: Who's there?
A: Sutton
B: Sutton who?
A: Just say the name! :-(
Another goes like this:
Jacob: We're going to Sutton Hoo.
Elsie: Eh? I didn't quite get that.
Jacob: We're going to Sutton Hoo.
Elsie: Sutton who??
Jacob: Yeah, that's it.
Elsie: That was a question!
Jacob: No that who!
There we saw Edith Pretty's house.
We also saw the Anglo-Saxon burial mounds, which were just grass.
What I liked best about Sutton Hoo was going to Edith Pretty's house. She was the woman who was living there in the 1930s and decided that she should ask someone to dig up the burial mounds and see what was in them. They discovered a king and some amazing treasures.
Hi Elsie, I love the photos, you must have had a great day. I especially love the shot of you in front of the castle. I laughed at your very clever jokes too. I can imagine why you liked Edith Pretty's house left as it was in the 1930s. It sounds great. Love Grandad
