Saffron Walden

Saffron Walden is a small town in Essex, the scene of Daisy's part in Anthem for Doomed Youth. I thought those of you who have read the book might like to see some pics of the town, the school, and Bridge End Garden.

The Maze

My friend Carole and I went into the maze because I wanted to see what was in the centre. We couldn't find it. Luckily we did find our way out! I accosted a gardener and asked him to describe what was there--He led us in, and out again :-)
