Sunday 19th September - A week in Suffolk


We had promised ourselves that we would use the caravan again before putting it into winter storage and when checking the weather we found that the East Coast of UK was going to be better weather than on the South Coast for the following week.

Our choice had been a site near Eastbourne then when looking at the internet we

found a site in a place called Aldeburgh in Suffolk which sounded rather nice and they had space for us. So we collected the caravan from the storage area on Saturday and made ready to leave on Sunday morning, which we did, at about 10:00 anticipating a journey of around four hours. The traffic on the M25 was light and so was the Dartford Tunnel and we joined the famous A 12 about seventy minutes later.

We arrived at Church Farm Holiday Park at around 1315 after an excellent jour

ney and were immediately impresses with the site. A large part is taken over for residential mobile homes and an area for touring caravans that is literally three minutes from the sea front. By 1530 we were all set up, the site is very quiet indeed, there must be around 70 pitches but only 20 or so were taken up and some of those are here for the season. We decided to walk into town along the sea front walkway this took about fifteen minutes and we walked around the town, which of course was closed, before going into a little pub for a pint before heading home to eat the casserole that had been made the previous day. A glass of wine accompanied the dinner and then we watched TV for the rest of the evening.

As we went to sleep you could hear the waves breaking on the stony beach and soon we were fast asleep in the land of nod.
