It's such a rare event for us to get down to the sea we just enjoy being there.
October 2000 @ the Pig Yard...
Already over half way through October and we've managed to get a few days away in Suffolk which made a pleasant break and the weather was kind. Steve has seen another birthday come and go without major depression or mishap. Jane has made a presentation to an audience of over 60 people and lived to tell the tale even if the tooth grinding did cause another tooth to crumble.
| Here we are on
the front at Southwold along with all the other pensioners (I don't
think). As you can see from Jane's attire it wasn't cold and in deference
to my years I was wearing Jane's favourite Val Doonican pullover.
It's such a rare event for us to get down to the sea we just enjoy being there. |

To have a lighthouse in the middle of a seaside town seems bizarre but it isn't out of place in this Suffolk backwater which has an air of timelessness about it. George Orwell lived in Southwold but it is a million miles away from Big Brother with no CCTV cameras spying on every move as found in most of our larger towns and cities. |
| Jane has a passion for beach huts and its only the price tag of £10,000 which put her off placing a deposit on one there and then. It reminds her of her childhood holidays at Bournemouth when the family would rent a beach hut and have tea brewed on a primus stove with sand filled sandwiches. |

Windmills are one
of those pieces of engineering which are not only practical but are also a
joy to behold. I cannot believe we will look at Sellafield in the same way
in 100 years although I do hear they're are putting a preservation order
on the dome at the now defunct Doonray nuclear power plant.
How windy did it need to be to make those sails rotate and grind the corn or pump the dykes dry? |
