Of course everyone loves to visit the seaside on a Bank Holiday, don't they? As we were so close to the coast at
Sutton Hoo, the Missus said "Why don't we go to the beach?". Well she had missed out when we went to
Landguard Point last Sunday, so off we went to the nearest spot -
East Lane, Bawdsey. As you can see, we didn't have to contend with massive crowds of seaside-lovers...
I think the Missus thought she might get a walk on the beach, but not much chance of that given the state of the sea and the tide. In fact this part of the coast is subject to fierce erosion, despite the sea defences.
The conical building is one of the 103 Martello towers erected along the coast to guard against a Napoleonic invasion and is in danger of falling into the sea. Oh never mind, read all about it for yourself by clicking on the photo of the sign, which explains all....
We had a bit of a walk along the Suffolk coastal path, but the little ones were a bit soggy from their earlier escapades at Sutton Hoo and the strong wind was in danger of giving them hypothermia, so we had to retreat to the car and head for home. Don't you just love British Bank Holiday weather?
