Touring Iodg� official reports on English trip Dear Bill As you probably know we have been touring England for the last week or so. Enclosed is a summary of a short excursion we just completed. - If you think any of your readers might be interested please use all or any part of it. Hope you can read my scribbling. We will be going to Ireland on April 30for about two weeks so I may have more to tell you then. a Sincerely Carl Mills _Dn_ Wednesda April 22 Jean's cousin who lives in-Chislehurst, whieh— is a suburb of south London, took us in her 'Minnie' and we set off via Dartford Tunnel toward Norfolk. We stopped in Cambridge, a very old university city dating to 1234,. After a light lunch we visited King's College Chapel - a beautifully ornate building which houses Rubens pain- ting of "Adoration of the Magi'? pur- chased in 1962 for about one quarter million pounds. After a quick visit to the Cambridge open air market where they sell almost anything but live animals, We drove northwards to Norfolk. Norfolk is the county in the large hump on the east side of England bordering the North Sea and the Wash. This area is much less rolling than other parts of England. Many small villages dot a rural landscape with large farms. The farmers are busy at sowing spring grain present- ly and soon will be sowing other crops. This area is important for green peas and beans and sugar beets which are all processed at Kings' Lynn, wheat and -barley; eanola--and-lavender . which is harvested in July and sent to__ Heacham to be distilled into per- fumes, etc. We also visited Sandringham which is one of the- Queen's houses. The house and grounds which cover 96 acres are open to the public when the Royal family is not there. The estate was bought by Edward VII in 1861 when he was yet Prince of Wales. It consists of 20.104 acres and embraces seven villages. Three quarters of it is let to tenant farmers who produce typical crops of this area - cereals, vegetables, sugar beets, beef and milk. The Queen farms 3,310 acres with 1954 acres in forestry and 243 acres in two thoroughbred stud farms. Of this land there are 1000 acres of wheat, 500 acres of barley,- 450 acres of sugar beets, 380 acres of green beans and peas, and 300 acres in pasture for a beef cow -calf operation with 200 Blue - grey cows usbally bred to Charolais and Simmental bulls. There is also 117 acres of fruit farm producing apples for "pick your own" ers•and black currants which are picked by machine and 40 acres of.potatoesUp to 3000 people over a weekend visit the orchards in September and October to fruit. Sandringham• -has --been- -th Christmas holiday home for Royalty - with King George V giving his first Christmas radio message from there. Shooting has been the main sport over the last century and the estate and all farm lands around there have hun- dreds of pheasants. As you drive' around the county roads dozens have been killed on the roads by motorists. There is also a large museum built on the grounds containing many an- tique cars previously owned by the Ro al Family. It also contains many of the unique ifts-which-have_been given to the Royal Families over the years from many countries and individuals. After leaving Sandringham we drove through many small rural villages and crooked country roads after with high hedges bordering the roadsides. Along the north east coast are many fishing villages selling every kind of sea food imaginable - whelks, winkles, prawns, crabs, sole etc. Much of this area is very low and marshy,_A_few_ hundred years ago it was tamed by Dutch immigrants who drained and farmed it. Several old windmills still stand as a memento of those days. Reeds are cut in some of the marshlands yet and are used for roof thatching, basket making and furniture. While cruising down one main road, we were suddenly stopped by a river which had to be crossed by an antique chain ferry. It held two cars at a time and was mainly hand operated by one man. After a long wait to be taken across .the river i only about 70 feet wide) we continued on our way to Seniors plan trips, other special events The May meeting of the Exeter senior citizens was held in the Legion Wednesday night andattendedby 58 members.
