Back from Kessingland

Today we drove back, with a small detour to avoid a large traffic jam! A lovely break, which we both needed!

Taking the 99 Bus to Lowestoft

No post yesterday, as we had a quiet day!  Morning coffee, followed by fish cake, chips and beans from the fish shop ... it rained quite a bit.

Today we took the 99 Bus the other way to Lowestoft.

We went to the theatre for a coffee, and then had a wander around town. Picked up some nice walking books for Suffolk. We went to JoJo's for lunch which was really good. Then took the 3.10 bus back to Kessingland. In the evening we went to the Sailor's Home pub.

Sunny weather today - made a nice change!

Morning Coffee

Lunch

Visit to Southwold

Today we took the 1232 Bus to Southwold (got up a bit late!). Helen got some croissants for Breakfast.

We had lunch (mushroom soup and a sausage roll) at Adnams, and had a look round town. We caught the 1520 return bus (when it started to rain).  Got back in drizzle, and went to teh Fish and Chip shop to buy our dinner. Raining quite hard in the evening!

Kessingland - Breakfast and Dinner

Today we got up and went to have breakfast - Light Breakfast and Veggie Sausage bun. Chilling for the rest of the day, only news was the Co-Op in Kessingland was broken into by ram raiders. happily, they got caught as they tried to flee down the dead end past the camp sites at Kessingland Beach. Still a shame that the Co-Op got ram raided again in Suffolk...

In the evening we went and each had a pint - and a meal - at the sailor's Home just up the road.

Breakfast!

Kessingland White Beach 8th September

Back to the sea!

Aldeburgh - and home

We spent two nights in Aldeburgh, the final night we had a nice meal in The Lighthouse.

On getting home, we found that a bottle of low alcohol Ghost Ship had exploded as it froze - nice to know the fridge works!

The van got booked in for an MOT and a visit for a new dashboard in November.

Aldeburgh - Suffolk

Today we arrived at Church Farm in Aldeburgh.

Went for the Fish and Chips and tried some tonic that one of us likes very much!

11th and 12th August Blickling Hall

We went to stay in the temporary campsite at the National Trust Blicking Hall - where they had a Proms Night.

Sadly, the Spitfire (mechanical failure) and Fireworks (too dry) were cancelled, but we saw a good display by AeroSPARX. We had a water failure in the van. There was coffee, tea, and sandwiches served for us Campers in the morning!

Home again from Cromer

We left at 1030, drove around the new Norwich ring road to have a look at the Camping shop again, and then home. On the way past Norwich airport we passed the museum ...
