The Corn Exchange - Bury St Edmunds

The happy couple

Visited 9th September 2012.

Mr and Mrs S. have been invited to a wedding. Stiggy, who has been with me on several 'spoon' visits is getting married. As usual, any special event that involves a trip somewhere different involves much planning. As it turns out there is no way we will have time on the day of the wedding to visit any 'spoons but we are going away for the weekend so there is always Sunday.
The wedding was great fun and it was nice to see that Stiggy scrubbed up so well, who'd have guessed? But the wedding was yesterday and today we have to get down to the serious business of pubbing. We are only a couple of miles away from Bury St Edmunds so thats where we head for our first pub of the day. And it turns out to be a pretty decent looking pub. We go in and immediately find out that we have to go upstairs, so we do, where the first things we see is a very interesting view of the sky. Nice ceiling! We had breakfast at the hotel we stayed at overnight so were not hungry and I had rather a lot to drink at the wedding reception so we settled on a Pepsi each. We stayed a while as it was a nice place to sit and chill and boy did we (I) need that. We had already had a bit of a look round Bury St Edmunds while looking for a parking spot and it looked to be a very interesting place. We had walked in the Abbey Gardens and saw Abbey Gate, the usual touristy things, very unlike us really but it was relaxing and a place that we would like to revisit one day. I had a list of four pubs that I thought would be good to visit but had seriously underestimated how exhausted we would be so following a look at the map and a bit of a rethink the new plan was to visit just one more pub that was in the general direction of home.
