"Dancer" After spending a few hours taking photos at a lovely place called Pin Mill on the river Stour just outside Ipswich, Suffolk.....I discovered that my car had completely died.

During the meal, a young girl rode her horse into the river just by the pub, and it began splashing around with its front hooves as if fascinated by the water.
