So, there was a bit of work needed at an office in Bury St Edmunds- a bit of network diagnosis and install a ID card printer. I’m chief network monkey, so it’s my sort of job. Time was flexible. I’d always fancied seeing the town, so last Friday my other half and I left out at early-O-clock, and hit the M6T, M6, and A14 again<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pleasingly, Cathorpe<\/a> has been finished, and the difference is amazing, such that even with a breakfast stop near Cambridge<\/a>, we arrived at the office well before 9am, untroubled by the speed cameras, which have mostly evolved into average-speed ones, thereby avoiding the horrors I discussed here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So then, a fight with the printer and it’s terrible drivers, a quick tweak of a Cisco config, fix a few other minor issues, and finished by 13:40. Off to the lovely hotel, and hit the pubs<\/a>. Bury is a lovely town; historic, beautiful, but not up-itself- a very rare mix. People were friendly, drinks and food reasonably priced. Even my better half’s bus fare into town from the office was a mere 75p.<\/p>\n

The next day, we took a trip to Ickworth<\/a>, a stunning property, and such a short drive not going would have been madness, and then had a look around the town, visited Green King’s cafe<\/a>, wandered around Abbey Gardens. <\/p>\n

I’m not usually a massive fan of GK’s beers, which maybe made a trip to Bury rather an odd one, as it’s Greene King Central, but the good thing was that some of GK’s less usual beers were about- and the double bonus of getting some work that needed doing done and another part of the UK visited was worthwhile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
