Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside - Sep 2025

 

Great Yarmouth

We popped back to Bury St Edmunds and took James's parents to the seaside.  We had coffee at Great Yarmouth and fish and chips at Lowestoft.  James grew up in Lowestoft until the age of seven.  It's always nice to take a trip back there.

We also took the opportunity to catch up with a couple of James rugby teammates, and their wives,  from back in the day.  One still lives in Bury and the other in Hong Kong.

These likely lads shared an 18th birthday party.
40 years ago!!!

We managed a short wee sit in the lovely village of Haverhill, just outside of BSE.  Elsie is the sweetest eva 13 yo choccy lab.  She is finding it difficult to get around these days.  We were just as happy to sit in and chill with her.  What a gorgeous old lady.


We were delighted to come across these beauties in the fields.  Fried up with bacon and eggs. Mwah!

Giant puffballs

We also managed to harvest some more venison for family and friends.  This time we were able to enjoy the offal with James's Mum.


Next we took a train down to Aldeburgh, to a housesit on the coast.  We were delighted to be in the very good company of a very well behaved 8mth Tibetan Terrier, Eddie.


It didn't take this one long to get his slippers under our bed :-)


We loved our daily trots around the estuary with him.  He was such a good boy with all the people and other dogs we met along the way.  


Disused moorings

We spent a day at the beach with James's niece and family too.

We found the old boat with our names
on it that we first saw here 10 years ago.
It hasn't moved since then.

Best fish and chips dinner with the fam

We also enjoyed our evening staying in and watching some telly.


This was day one.  What a cuddle bug!

We were sad to leave this lovely boy.  No doubt, if we meet him again, he will have grown into his skin.
