Let loose in East Anglia
Look out folks the Bryans are now roaming the country. Watch out for "The Beast" as they have named their campervan. If you look carefully you can see Eric in the upper window. We spent a few days at a lovely campsite in Hollesley called Run Cottage. Very clean site in a wooded area next to a woodland. A little egret was a regular visitor to the pond.
We were going to spend a day at my old stomping ground of Minsmere, but decided that the boys would probably moan the whole time and turn it into a miserable experience. So we went to Orford instead and enjoyed a tour of the 12th Century castle. It cost about 12quid for us all to get in and we were given little phone to walk round with. If you typed in numbers off signs on the wall, it would talk to you pointing out significant features. Much better than having to read lots of text and we saw things that we would otherwise have missed. My favourite feature were the toilets - basically long-drops from second storey all the way down to the ground. It must have got a bit wiffey round the base in the summer!
The next day we had a "free" day walking along the local beach from Shingle Street to a gun emplacement. It was quite cold and I was the only one who enjoyed the experience. See if you work out the sequence of 3 photos from the body language.
Now we are back in the warmth and civilisation of Stretham.
Blogger won't let me upload the pics at the mo so they will follow later.
