Here is a quick sketch I did of my mum at Laxfield House – the nursing home she is temporarily staying in. Laxfield is in Brent Eleigh which is near Monks Eleigh where my sister lives. My brother-in-law told me that ‘Brent’ means burnt and the names of the two nearby villages refer to two brothers…one of whom befriended monks and the other who was burnt? I’ve probably got that wrong because I can’t find that story when I google it.
