Southwold beckoned!

Yes indeed, this lunchtime having done the  food shopping… I had a text from Jan to say 'how about Southwold'…

No need for a second bidding! I drove up to hers, and got in her car and off we went…

Well we are single …alone and older, done our share of hard work…so nice to do something on the spur of the moment.

Firstly made our way to 'Mark's' fish and chip shop, 'cod and chips' which we took on the common and sat and ate them, very yummy…'common' but we did eat them with fish knives and forks!ha ha Then we walked down to the pier, where we had an expensive but very lovely rhubarb and ginger ice cream…sat on the pier and ate that…

A nice walk back through town and a browse in the Amber Shop… then on to the common and picked blackberries… took them back to the car and left our coats, (sunshine lovely) off to Adnams Cafe to have a cup of tea and a slice of carrot cake! Sitting in the sunshine…

What a wonderful way to spend a Friday afternoon!

Of course the usual photo of the lighthouse…

A view from the common…

we spotted a lot of sparrows in the hedge, but of course they mostly flew away as we came along…

Sounds like you two had a really lovely, indulgent (& why not?!) afternoon. Your photo of Southwold from the Pier was really good B & the beautiful sky just made it perfect. Also looks great enlarged.

Thanks Sandy, think my outside shots come out better than the jazz ones, but I keep trying, maybe I should read the manual ha ha…

Yes Jan and I manage to have a good laugh and even if the lbs go on we walk a nice long way to compensate!
