Millennium Wood
Metfield owes a huge debt and grateful thanks to Peter Twiss and Jan Rusted who look after this lovely maturing woodland on the airfield. They’ve been caring for the wood since the Millennium and love being up there. It is a special place. If you haven’t visited yet, anytime’s a good time. Please respect the area – take all rubbish home and pick up and take home all dog mess.
A wing and a prayer?
Yes, isn’t this a lovely name for a website! And it describes a stunning glass art installation by Arabella Marshall.
Go to this website www.awingandaprayer.org.uk and it will tell you all about how this beautiful piece of artwork came to be installed on the marshes at Minsmere. There is also a short film about it.
You need only walk for a short while from Eastbridge to reach the ruined chapel, formerly part of Leiston Abbey before it was moved by the monks. Or treat yourself to a longer walk beyond the chapel to the beach or further along to Dunwich. You can also walk from Dunwich Cliff NT, Sizewell Beach or RSPB Visitor Centre. For the whole story, go to the website.
Well worth a visit. Quite uplifting. Quite surprising. A lovely thing to brighten our days now that the sun is shining upon us more often.
