Still recovering from the awful nights sleep on Sunday, I'd gone to bed early. This meant that by 5:30am my eye lids had pinged open and I was ready to go. I always relish the challenge of sneaking out of the tent without waking anyone else and this morning it was mission successful! I was greeted by the most incredible colours in the sky at the far end of the field. Dawn was well under way and felt it rude to turn my back. So I positioned my chair grabbed a blanket and settled down to watch the artist at work. Every few minutes invisible strokes were added from the artists brush as the colours moved through pinks, oranges and yellows. What a privilege.
After another sausage, egg and toast breakfast fit for a king, we headed to Aldeburgh. This happy, higgledy-piggledy, seaside town is one of my favourites. First stop was the amazing ice cream parlour in the high street first. Noah enjoyed his ice cream in his usual inimitable style, eating it from the top and bottom at the same time. Lucky we still carry wipes!
The day included mooching in the high street, popping into bookshops and art galleries and then picnicking on the beach. I enjoyed another swim until a jellyfish floated passed. Then more mooching, this time around the marina, Reuben fancied buying a fishing boat after our fun at Thorpness Mere, before joining the cue for the famous Aldeburgh Fish n Chip shop. We enjoyed our meal at the clam before wandering home taking the scenic route and taking it slowly hoping that the headache stricken Noah would drop off and recover, which he did.
Famous Five, snacks and snuggles then bed.
