Every year for the past
twelve our original
'team' of Paul, Jason, Linda and I aim to spend a weekend at Woodbridge,
so we can spend time exploring the forest and its well-known locations.
This was not possible during the various 'lockdown' periods of course:
we had to cancel last year's visit at the last minute.
This year, however, we
met at the East Gate car park (you have to pay these days!) for our annual
reunion. Joining us were Jason's lovely children Rosie and Thomas (who
have attended many of the previous walks, talks and night-time excursions!)
as well as Rosie's partner Tom.
After a long walk around
the airfield perimeter fence (when we noticed that the bomb-proof hangar
doors have been removed!) and a visit to the East Gate, we adjourned to
Orford for lunch at the beach cafe. Seemed strange to not see the lighthouse....
