Southwold day out…

Another lovely day out with Jan, we had a shopping day, lunch and garden centre, earlier in  the week, and yesterday we went off to Southwold, we needed a cheer up  as not enough good news of late…

So off we went… ha ha well of course forgot us locals do not go midday into Southwold as so many visitors, so Jan drove all the way around we saw the fairs and the harbour, lovely, then as all car parks full, went back to the Pier to park.

So instead of Fish and Chips as we normally have, we went on to the pier and had a Pizza between us, should have taken a photo of it, as it was huge, we were cheeky and asked for another plate which they were pleased to provide, we watched it being made and popped in  the oven the smell was delicious… the taste was even better… we had a pretty flowery tea pot with real tea, and a little bottle of milk very sweet…so nice lot of tea to wash the pizza down, we managed to get up in the end ignoring with great regret that we had not space for those yummy cakes on display!!!!

Walked along the pier, and then a lovely walk  from  the pier watching all the many folk sunning themselves and swimming, notice they still are silly enough to let children have floats in the water, not a good idea with our tides, however lots of lifeguards about, mmm come to think of it even at my age could appreciate those young lifeguards…

Went round the town, in all the dress shops browsing, and in the Amber shop which is always a must, all we came back with was a Beccles and Bungay Journal…  rather to many folk about but wandered into the Adnams  shop which is another must…then back along the front to wander along to the pier again…

The next must have… is the gorgeous special ice  creams cost a lot but yummy… we had Rhubarb and Ginger this time… sat on the pier and people watched, always a reality wake up, we are a nation of large folk! and strange fashions! with lots of giggles from us what a good way to enjoy the sit down…

Then sadly back to the car, just in time for the ticket had nearly run out, then back home,  …Lovely sunny day with a nice sea breeze… always a great time in Southwold we are so lucky to be near the coast…thanks Jan…

as always the lighthouse…

The pier in the distance…

Of course the usual photo with the seagull!

The two greys they give rides now, after all the years of pulling the beer casks…

And the lovely braided brown horse that was so good…
