In Aldeburgh for a short break

We used to live not far from there. Nice place. If you have time, try Walberswick, on the way to Southwold.
And Thorpeness.

A unique and lovely place.

Nice part of the country, we walked to Thorpeness yesterday.

Wow, Aldeburgh beach?

It looks like something from a Sci-Fi film!

Yes, Aldeburgh. :+1:

Orford Ness is really interesting if you get the chance.

Heading home in the morning but will aim to get there next time.

Yep, totally unique and an insight into our recent military history. The Cobra Mist installation apparently cost between $100 - $150 million in the late sixties and only operated for 3 years.

For anyone remotely interested:

Well that’s my birthday all booked.

It was an idea that we floated and then somehow abandoned.

However when the chef-patron of a restaurant in Luxembourg heard that the wife was Irish and started rambling about his old friend Myrtle Allen (after a bit of deciphering through the accent) it seemed fated.

So, fly in separately, steal MiL’s car, a couple of nights here.

Maybe drop in on very old friends in Dún Laoghaire on the way back up.

The wife has been there many years ago, on a girl’s road trip after here dad died. I haven’t.

Unfortunately they don’t have a Cheese Chariot, but they do have an “award winning dessert trolley”.

Seems like a mad place to build a church but I guess that’s organised religion for you.

Religion requires a lot of suffering.
Pilgrims climbing up mountains barefoot, hair shirts, that sort of thing.
So the builders have to have a difficult life too.

Ah, I did wonder, and now I’ve seen your beer …

Years ago I went to a wedding in Crete. I commented on all the funny little churches in inaccessible places around the coast.

As it was told to me: the electricity board is required to provide power to all churches. If you want to get electricity to somewhere inaccessible you build a little church, the board lays the miles of cabling to it, you do the last 100 yards.
