Outing to Saffron Walden

We went to Saffron Walden which is a very nice old market town. Here are some pictures of my travels. We went to walk around to the nice outdoor market yesterday which is apparently on Tuesdays and Saturdays. There is a very quaint and peaceful atmosphere that feels like you are back a hundred years. I bought a very very old register book for £2 that would have originally been used for registering births, deaths etc. I plan to use it for a scrapbook of some sort. I also bought some olives from the market and had coffee in the cafe with my mother-in-law. Today, Tim and I went to Audley End on a little mini train ride which is mainly for kids on a teeny tiny almost toy size train that goes on a little track around and through the woods. As you are going through the woods, there are loads of stuffed animals for the children to spot hiding in trees and hanging around on the grass. The kids love it, and so do the big kids like Tim and I. We even went around a very old maze that really is just a pattern you can follow from beginning to end without getting lost. it is a bit Alice in Wonderland without the hedges. All the shops are shut on Sundays so really the towns are very quiet in general. It was very nice and relaxing. Hope you enjoy the pictures. The rest are on Tim's facebook.
