A hot day in East Suffolk; you can almost see it in these photos at Greater Anglia #Westerfield, and they were taken this morning! Doesn't the station look fantastic!

Aren't the floral displays at #Melton and #Woodbridge station lovely! A bright and sunny Monday made all that more colourful thanks to the dedicated station adopter volunteers who planted these flowers and take care of them all through the year. That includes a much needed drink on days like today!
