Well, not really! Some good friends (Ali &Tony) are seriously considering buying a Motorhome and asked us to join them for a weekend while they trialled a rental one before making a commitment. Ali wanted to go to the sea so we booked into Cliff House https://www.cliffhouseholidays.co.uk/ for 3 nights (4-7 July)… we had been a couple of times before and it’s difficult to beat the location with Dunwich one side, Dunwich Heath and Minsmere the other and steps straight onto the beach. We had a fabulous weekend, barbie on the Thursday, long walks in the sunshine on Friday ( we only did Dunwich and back but Ali&Tony walked the 8 miles to Southwold then paid £35 for a taxi back😨). Even the rain on Saturday afternoon didn’t dampen our spirits as we had a fun afternoon playing games in the van. A great weekend and, I hope, the start of many more once they take the plunge with their own van.

Music in the forest 🎷
On Friday 21st June we dropped Ruby off and headed to Thetford forest for one of our favourite weekends of the year… the concerts in Thetford forest. For the first time we had booked two concerts…Paul Weller on the Friday and Jess Glynne on the Saturday. PW was fabulous…a great show which began with a set by a new band The Stone Foundation. ..def an act to watch out for. Jess Glynne sounded fab but the show felt a bit disjointed ( think she was a bit stressed after dropping out of Isle Of Wight festival the week before) but still a brilliant night. The weather was amazing and we did a lovely circular walk during Saturday when we bumped into one of Michaels old school chums.. it’s a small world. Another great weekend at Thetford at Little Lodge Farm.
Suffolk 🌞&⛈
So off we went to meet up with Sandra& Adrian and the Williamson family for our annual camping weekend. This year it was 19-22 July at http://www.hawwoodfarm.co.uk/.. a fabulous little site that we will use again. The three meadows at the far side of the campsite are ideal for wee groups as they only have eight pitches each. Apart from snow we had all available variations of weather…wind, hot and sunny and storms, but it didn’t stop the barbies and, thanks to Debbie’s gazebo, we ate out each night. Saturday brought a bit of retail therapy in the shape of Snape Maltings and a lovely girlie lunch with the Addams brewery tour in Southwold in the afternoon for the chaps. On Sunday we all headed back to Snape for a lovely riverside walk and then a pub lunch in Aldeburgh ( although Sue and Adrian could have done without the seagulls dropping ‘one’ on them…even if it is meant to be lucky!!!) A lovely final evening on Sunday with a sit round the fire pit after a nice barbie. A few of us stopped at Sutton Hoo on the way home , having a wee picnic overlooking the river to Woodbridge…a fantastic view. A lovely weekend…where will we venture next year I wonder?🤔
