Dunwich? Where the Hell is that??
We are back from our visit to Beccles in Suffolk and had a very nice and relaxing time indeed.
Hayseed Dixie was great fun to watch and listen to as usual but I think one of our gang took the preparation for the gig juuuuust a little too far.
Nice one, Andy!!
The weather was kind as well, which always helps - especially when (as we did) you are undertaking a five mile round-trip through the beautiful Suffolk countryside.
We parked our car at Dunwich on the Suffolk coast, walked along the beach, past a bird sanctuary, along marsh land, into the obligatory pub, through the forest and over the heath back to the car.
Here are some pictures:

Not a man-made thing in sight
Old ruin which doubled up as gun shelter in the war
Grasses taken from the ground to the sky
This pub used to be a smugglers meeting place. Keith and I each managed to smuggle 2 pints of beer out in our bellies.

Back in the kitchen I noticed this sign, drawn by little Rachel.
Couldn't resist blogging it!
So, friends, remember!!! Don't sneeze on the food!!
Have a good weekend!

What a great post...I enjoyed viewing pics of places I've never been, and may never go!
It seems you all do a lot of walking, which I envy.
No one walks in San Antonio!
Ah-choo. oops.
Eels Foot Inn: love British names for pubs etc.
love love love love LOVE the picture of the grass looking up.
if I ever come your way will you be my tour guide?
Oh shoot, I just sneezed on my dinner before I read this! I should have come by sooner.
Beautiful shots Erik! Looks a wee bit chilly for the beach. Tell me there was a campfire involved? Hot chocolate at least, right?
You are making me so jealous with your little travels. I need to get one of those in sometime soon.
I love to post them.
the no sneeze rule reminded me of a post I did from a co-worker son Brayde r.u.l.e.s
Looks like you all had a great time.
Those are the best rules; now, I am ready to cook. Your pictures are grand.
When I saw the picture of the grasses I thought how wonderful it would be to lay down in them so that you could look up and watch the clouds change shape...but then I suddenly remembered one of my friends telling me how ticks love to live in grasses by the beach. Does England have a lot of ticks?
I'm more scared of ticks than most other bugs all put together.
As to the beers for lunch...I think that's the way to go, as long as you follow up dinner with a couple more.
What beautiful photos!
what a cute poster! I need one for my kitchen!
Great photos!
Nothing drives my DH bonkers more than when we sit down to eat and right away one of the boys coughs or sneezes all over everything. (As if he hasn't already picked up their germs.)
Dear very nice man. Once again you make me really jealous with your lovely pictures! The ruined house looks cool. (Cool? Am I a teenager? I've just woken up, hence the useless adjective).
Great pictures! Glad you had a good time. Thanks for sharing. :)
You have given us a little glimpse into another part of England I've never seen. Beautiful photos - great name for a pub. The list is sooo cute!
So glad you had a wonderful trip. Love the photos, especially the grasses taken from the ground perspective.
Love your pictures. The grass one is fabulous.
