Meet Grace – barista at Roots Café and soon-to-be triathlon superstar! 🚴♀️🏃♀️🏊♀️
She’s taking on the Outlaw Half Holkham this July:
that’s a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile cycle, and a casual 13.1 mile run to finish (we’re out of breath just typing that).
Grace has been training hard for months and is raising money for Alzheimer’s Research UK – a cause close to many hearts. What an inspiration. 💜
If you spot her in Roots Café, wish her luck by (she isn’t always wearing her helmet at work 😂), or better yet, support her journey here:

Happy Suffolk Day!
Today is a reminder of what beauty we have on our doorstep here at Rougham but also across the county.

What a glorious county we live in!
On the estate we have a cracking crop of wheat with a beautiful back drop of blue sky, hedgerows buzzing and a margin full of Ox-eye daisies.
This is farming and nature working in harmony!
