Aldeburgh to Butly | 18.07.12
Finally out of Aldeburgh and a forest walk to Snape, complete with ceramic sculptures.
Continue readingDunwich to Aldeburgh | 17.07.12
Heading out in the unusual bright sunshine I stomp through the shingle for half an hour until the sea retreats to reveal damp firm sand perfect for walking. Looking out to sea I spy an animal and this time it’s not a seal, it’s a real labroador.

Leaving the Jubilee bunting of genteel Southwold we head northwards ignoring the dark purple clouds massing behind us.

Beautiful wooden houses overlooking the lagoon at Angering, each equipped with canoes and such.
Shoeburyness to Leigh-On-Sea | 10.05.12
Walk along damp shingle beaches to the vintage arcades of Southend. A walk on the mile long pier is irresistible, as is the mini-train back, clanking over the weather worn boards. Kingsnorth lowers in the distance and then on to the fresh cockles of Leigh On Sea.

11. & 12. Mundesley to Caister-On-Sea (two days) | 05.05.12
Wide open skies, deserted sandy beaches and wind. Beautiful home for two days – Gig House. Forced to do our re-cycling homework. Families of seals dreaming on the beach and kite surfers riding the waves. Best bacon butty ever and vertiginous climb up the Happisborough Lighthouse.
