Sign on what was the car parkOn Saturday Mr and Mrs Michael Fogg-Elliot opened their home for a coffee morning to raise funds for the Earl Soham village hall.  Their house used to be the Falcon pub which, when discussed, was thought to have closed around ten years ago.  We knew that post for the pub sign now lives outside Earl Soham Brewery and that the front garden used Petrol pumps to the leftto be the car park but we were surprised to find there were petrol pumps to one side ... don't know why but we were, surprised.

Earl Soham Lodge

Scott busy serving coffeeEarl Soham Lodge is gorgeous!  It actually is a moated (farm?)house, that standing water goes all the way round it's not just a medieval fish farm, and we're told some of the cellar is Roman.  When we arrived around 11 this morningHot chocolate? for Paddy and Scott's Coffee Morning Scott had already served  160 coffees (Paddy was on a sabbatical) and Scott reckoned the event would raise some £500-600 for the village hall.  As with all similar events one of the great pleasures is to blether with your neighbours and by the way this nipper was supping it might have been hot chocolate.
