    That’s a beautiful spot. I love a good sunset.

    The sunset wasn't quite so good as it could have been.



    It won't be a no spends day today but I don't think it will be massively spendy today either.

    We are having breakfast in the cafe on the A17 this morning. It's only 10 minutes up the road. We are aiming to get there about 7.30am and be back on the road by 8am.

    Dinner tonight is pie and chips. I have a farmshop steak and Stilton pie in the freezer for an easy dinner. Must remember to put that in the fridge when I get up.

    We will probably wander up the harbour wall to the pub later on. But I don't think it will be for more than a couple today. We will be tired after all the travelling today.

    They are only quick snaps from the phone.

    Must get round to getting a proper camera again. My last one had one too many splashes of salt water on the boat 😲

    We called in at Ness Point, Lowestoft,  the most Easterly Point in mainland UK on the way to the site.

    That's Northerly and Easterly points ticked off now.



    We have now got ourselves settled in in the site. Bunting up. Dog wearing his new harness. 

    Going to have a quick drink and then we are going for a wander.

    We had a lovely day yesterday. Had Change of plan for dinner when we walked past the fish mongers on the quayside. Ended up having mixed fish on the bbq with some garlic new potatoes and salad. It was lovely.

    Does mean that we have pie for dinner tonight though instead.

    Today we are going for a walk into town. It will be a spendy day today, we know that. There are some lovely but expensive shops there.

    Going to have a full English after a couple of coffee's then get showered and changed before we go for our walk.

    A couple of pictures from yesterday. 


  • Great pics again, weather looks fabulous!
