Walberswick cottage weekend.

Lovely photos of the seaside and of the church ...
I'm glad you enjoyed the weekend away with your friends :o)

What a lovely blog! Pity it was so short! ;)))

had a much appreciated hot cuppa in the Southwold pier cafe last winter, the waves bashing into white horses on the rock barriers as me, family & grandson sat cosy inside after a wonderful off season walk . Its a nice place as long as you dont want to buy a beach-hut !! bit pricey LOL !!!!

Thank you TT, it made a lovely break for us all. Karen are you complaining, Lol?? and Bampy, its bloomin windy there isnt it? but refreshing. I love beach huts, something romantic about them! and yes I can imagine the price is probably like having a second mortgage, we had some crackin fish and chips in the cafe on the pier, very yummy, then went home to the fire and had cake!!

Pleased you had a nice break Grandmage, I love old churches and ruins, the sea shots are great....

Thanks Lincs. it was a very welcome break and fun.

Love the pictures - my ideal place to live round these parts. Love to see the sea , so stress relieving

Gm, there is something very comforting about a real log fire when you're safe indoors and the wind is howling around outside! ... The foam off the waves at high tide this morning was being blown on to the road ... a rare event ... just looked at the prices of beach huts close to us ... starting from £9,000! ... Ridiculous price ... :o(

Not really, but I do love a good read! ;)

Lovely - I particularly like those beach huts! (but not at that price lol)

Glad you enjoyed your weekend in Suffolk, Grandmage. I too was in Suffolk at the weekend and spent part of Sunday afternoon in Southwold, visiting the Amber shop and browsing around. As you say, lovely area. I only saw the beach huts in the distance so was pleased to have a closer view :)

I love those pictures of the sea and the beach huts, looks a lovely place to spend a late autumn holiday, especially with log fires and good friends. The old ruins look an interesting place to walk around, so pleased you had such an enjoyable weekend;0))

lovely waves there and love the beach huts Grandmage, enjoyed the blog :o))

I love old churches etc like this, and the location is wonderful. I'm pleased to hear you were able to have some time with your friends again .

You did brave the elements then? It was very cold on Saturday...but fish and chips,cake,and a roaring fire sounds good to me..Looks a pretty little place,and I've never heard of it before...I love going to Whitby on days like that..my favourite thing,watching waves when they are wild...at a safe distance !

It does not matter how many times you see the beach huts, they still look great and say "Holidays". Now GM if you had thought to put castors on your lovely new shed........

Do you think that is the appeal of those huts, that they remind us of our garden sheds and home...lol ?

LOVELY pics of the sea, and of the ruins Grandma - sounds like a great weekend! Michael Palin gets about - he apparently also has three houses knocked together in London (do you know the story of how he met his wife? on holiday as a teenager he saw this pretty girl on the beach in Suffolk (Southwold perhaps?), and went over to talk to her). Aaaww . . .

Lovely pics, love the beach huts. Sounds like you have a very refreshing time. There is nothing like the wind by the ocean for blowing the cobwebs out. It's very refreshing.

Hello lovely people, Paul, Shirley,Sheilar, Gee, Pp,, San, Hywel, B, Pim, Sheila & Anjie, I am amazed at your comments thank you so much, think we all have a bit of the old romantic in us and we all seem to love the old churches and beach huts! Gee how amazing that our paths crossed like that! B. I too love Whitby, my fave. all time place. Pim. perhaps I should paint our shed like a beach hut, would be so much cheaper. Sheila, I didnt know that story, his village is on the sea think I read it is a place of conservation, very nice houses there and you can only reach it by one road and its a no through village so quite secluded! Thanks again my Goy pals didnt expect many comments at all.! :~)

The way you've captured those waves makes me long for the sea. It sounds like a lovely place, and I'm glad you spent a while there. :)

Thanks Trala. I love the seaside, would love to move and live beside it one day, I could watch the sea for hours!

We haven't been to Whitby for a couple of years now,Grandmage..so time to re visit ,maybe next year..we are fortunate enough to be able to go for the day.:o)The area was on a TV programme last night,with Gethin Jones..looking for Whitby jet and fossils....very interesting..

Ooh Bloomer - that sounds interesting. My OH loves fossils (no funny comments now), and I've often tried to persuade him to visit Whitby - perhaps now I can! Please could you give me the name of the TV prog??
Thank you!

Sorry Grandma, forgot to say how clever of M. Palin to find somewhere so inaccessible! I now want to go to Walberswick too!!

Hi B. last time we were in Whitby we stayed at the Royal on top of the hill on the harbour side, we loved going down to town each day taking a different route each time and I managed to get a pair of jet earrings out of OH! Sorry I missed that prog wonder if it is repeated? Sheila we always take our long weekends away with (rural retreats) they have great house/cottages/lighthouse cottages too. Take a peak online!

Sheilabub,...it is called..The Adventure's Guide to Britain.. onTuesday's ...ITV1,at 7.30 -8pm.They are in a different place each week..hope you can find it,as it is an excellent programme..and he isn't so bad either ! :o)...erm,I won't comment on the Fossils ! Lol.

Ah,yes, G. I know where The Royal is..and I agree,so many different ways to walk down to the Harbour..did you ever go in 'The Magpie' fish and chip Restaurant ? expensive,but very nice..also the one round the corner,near the information centre..another nice one..:o)

You have taken some beautiful pictures Grandmage.

Southwold is know as a posh persons retreat, hence the price of the beach huts!! enjoyed your blog and photos, lovely to spend time with friends, out of season, a log fire, wine and beer, what more could one wish for? oh yes.....the fish and chips lol

Many thanks for that useful info Gran and Bloomer - I will have a look tomorrow, as it will be an "indoor" day!

I have had an 'indoor day' today..and done the very minimum..I may do the same tomorrow as well ..and no way do I have a guilt trip,these days ! Lol....been there,done that..:o)

Dd......and chocolate cake!!
B. we tried to get into the magpie but it was always fully booked!
Hi Camillia, how are you? You have not been on here lately, I am glad you like my photos, thank you kindly. and Sheila & B, I have been having too many 'indoor days' lately, but I love them! Lol

What wonderful pics....so glad you enjoyed your break..seeing these reminds me of how far west we have moved................... but have had some wonderful meals of fish on the east coast over the years.
Talk soon Moy

Hi Moy, its so nice to see you on here!! We did have a lovely weekend on this coast and yes you have moved to exactly the opposite (east-west) location to Suffolk! Very brave of you, wish I could take the plunge! Take care. G.
