The one in which it appears I'm a surreptitious twitcher.....

I've recovered now from my eventful weekend of visiting my Aunt and Uncle who live near Sudbury! Sophie and I left on Friday evening, negotiated the nightmare of the M6 and deposited ourselves on the poor unsuspecting people known as Margaret and Adrian. We fell into bed soon after we got there (and Sophers had found the stairs..... ahem) looking forward to the trip to Southwold the next day. Off we went (even more grateful as Adrian sacrificed the Rugby - above and beyond I think!!!) and what a day we had. Fab, and much anticipated fish and chips on the pier, a look at the Waterclock and the "under the pier show" (more on that on my next post) and then off for an explore!

There are some amazing beach huts all along the front, without a doubt my favourite was one called "Gin 'N' it"!!!!

Are they cute or what????! I can imagine spending many happy days summer and winter in a beach hut - I'd love one!!! (are you hearing me Father Christmas????!!)

We walked along the beach watching the people fishing and out in their boats

We then carried on up to where the sea meets the River Blyth, which is where I started with the Birdie pictures!!!!!

I'm aware that I've posted a few bird ones recently..... I must have a touch of Bill Oddie-itis (frightening isn't it!)

Well as you can see we had a great time - AND that was only the first part of the weekend.... tune in tomorrow to see what else we got up to...

Most important of all - Thanks to Margaret and Adrian for having us, and showing us some lovely places we've never been before, we had a great time!
