The Coast

I do not suppose many of you could watch The Coast tonight on BBC2

It has brought my post on Southwold to life....

It is amazing to watch on TV places that we visit on a regular basis, and realise just how wonderful a part of the world we live in....

A bit like the blog, seeing places where you all live and that you bring to life for others.....

Nice to know how much we all love our homes.....

Floods and Memories...

This was the Beccles Floods in 1946, and yes I am afraid I do remember them!!!!!!
Our Beccles Quay in 1976....
This last one was in the 1980's. the newspaper cuttings are from a scrap book my uncle gave me he was our Beccles Archivist, and most of his work is in Beccles Museum....and I may bore you again as he has many a lively tale....

He wrote for East Anglian Newspapers...and was Chairman for the Historical Society, He was a pianist and I can remember when I was little he used to play duets on the piano with me...when I went to visit my dear aunt Anne.

His daughters Rosemary (who now lives in South Africa,) and Margaret, who is now sadly passed away, were real pals, and I miss them a lot.....They, like me, loved art, and another cousin John Nursey is very good at art, and he has put together a book called Time Remembered, a selection of writings by my uncle Eugene Ulph, for which he has drawn the illustrations, a lovely family memory, and I do like to think that my boys have taken on the passion he had for History, Art, Music , Books and the love of memories of the past.....I have continued in a small way collecting bits and pieces from papers but wish I had his patience to put them in a book, but they are together maybe the boys one day will continue with gathering memories....mainly because although a tougher time for many, the cuttings from the scrap book and the selection of stories from Johns book,were a gentler way of life, and great to get away for a while from the many harsh things in the world today......

Not very good photo taken against the sun, but very moving tribute to our troops, what a shame war is still going on , do we never learn......
Big Ben as we walked along the embankment in the morning....
The rear of Westminster Abbey very pretty......
Dive and Robyn who we went to meet, and well worth it she is a lovely person outside the Tate..
A wet and windy me in St James Park on the way to the underground, we had good weather up till then....
Dive put me in the middle of the road in the Mall, but as I had the Japanese groceries, he made sure I was safe!!!!!
Me, Elizabeth, Robyn and Lovely Daughter no2 outside Westminster Abbey
Us again the sun was shining but very windy.....

So thank you Son for a great day, apart from the blisters which I seem to have, but then we did rather a lot of walking......It was really good..

A few moments............ Meeting up with Robyn........

I think the Quiet Moment of Prayer in Westminster Abbey at 11am, when so many people of all races stopped to hear the prayer and it was so silent you could have heard a pin drop........

Lighting a candle in the Abbey.....

The Tate... wonderful pictures, but the protest room was so scary but moving.....so glad to have seen that....

Horseguards...... Piccadilly....... St James Park, well everything really.... wonderful time.....

Have a safe journey home Robyn and family.......
