From 1983 until 1989 my wife and I lived just across the fields from Lavenham in the village of Woolpit. At Christmas we would drive to Lavenham for our Christmas dinner in the Old Tea Shop there. Those were some of the most wonderful Christmas memories of our lives. The drive across the fields crossed the old airfield and reminded us of the sacrifices of so many to provide us the freedom to enjoy the beauty of the time and place. We look forward to the time when we can again visit this lovely village!
