August 2001 Trip to Suffolk |
|
Who: The Smiths & Peters Drive to the Peters & Stayed on Friday Night after a long moving day. Saturday saw a two hour drive to Suffolk, the House & Moat near Halesworth were superb. The Moat was a great source for fun all week as it was loaded with Roach and Tench. Floats, catgut, hooks etc were soon purchased - oh and 7' bamboos for rods were bought, assembled and put to use with immediate success. Roach being the most easily caught. Ryan was the first to pull out a Tench following a change in technique. Trip to Halesworth, Southwold, Dunwich (I saw no bones in the cliff), Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh Woodbridge, Bawdsey and Rendlesham Forest made it a full and fun week for all. All nine of use swam in the sea at some time or other, Bev found a 'nice' glass lampshade in a junk shop, a pair of earrings and a Trout. |
|
The Clarks Office & Moog Musium. Probably the most photographed building in Aldburge |
|
The fishing Boats. These Boats are launched from and winched back up onto the beach each time they are used. |
|
Fishing from the beach. To Run a fishing & fish mongering business from the beach a lot of 'junk' is needed, the less romantic side of fishing |
|
The boys swam, the girls shopped. (Sorry I forgot you costume Charlotte) |
|
Fantasia. This interesting little house had someone inside while we stood looking & Talking about it. |
|
Watch Tower Houses. There were a few of these building at the edge of the beach |
|
Bawdsey Jetty & Beach. A fine place to go Crabbing |
|
The Act of Crabbing. Bacon is the usual bate for catching green backs or Shore crabs |
|
The Results. About fifty of these were caught, with a fine selection of Hermit crabs in Welk shells to boot |
|
Some Crabbed some Spectated. Some Crabbed and Spectated |
|
Townies on the Beach - What are they like! |
|
City Kids on the Beach |
|
Dunwich Beach, a fine place to swim so we all swam! |
|
I've heard of quick sand, but quick gravel! Red & Ry are the fist to sink |
|
Then Sam, smiling through the ordeal |
|
Followed by Charlie, she looks to be in Real Trouble |
|
Even Jack Three Rings fared no better |
|
Let's get out of here, the only thing to do - Runaway! |
|
The House, we had the right half of the house. Nice house good size rooms, fine surroundings |
|
The Moat, the house was surrounded by a moat, very nice. |
|
The Lounge, large and comfortable, if you don't mined sharing with the Perky Peters! |
|
Our chef prepares breakfast (his dress is a bit casual), a fine breakfast (apart from the scanky eggs) |
|
Mussels -look at the size of um, found these while rescuing my glasses from the Moat - don't ask |

Un-invited Guests, our night time visitors, Hornets nesting in the roof |
