Monday October 18th
Ann was off to school early today so we took our time getting up. We had to try and cram everything back into our cabin size bags that we are travelling with and somehow managed. Tried out the hand scales and they seem to work well. People are surprised we are travelling so light; if only they knew the how much we really have back at Liz and Andy’s.
We still had Kathy’s car so we were able to go into the town and get a few things we needed and also visit a few places of interest around Felixstowe. the photos are of the groins and beach huts on part of the Felixstowe seafront. The groins which are manmade to protect the foreshore are creating alot of controversy here in Felixstowe as they all need replacing and they are going to replaced with boulders rahter than wood and concrete. The other one is of Bawdsey Manor with a Martello tower in the foreground.
Before we left I phoned the garage in New Milton to ask how they were getting along with Hemi. They plan to have him ready by lunchtime on Wednesday so it is looking good for driving him back to London on Thursday. There is a huge sorting out job ahead of us as he is full of treasures collected on our trip abroad.
In the afternoon we drove around to Mike and Pat’s where we are staying couple of nights. Late afternoon we drove back down to Martlesham Heath to return the car to Kathy and they drove us back to Felixstowe as they had been invited for dinner here along with Ann. (Tom is off on a boat trip for a week) We had a superb meal in good company and quite a late night but it will be the last time we all be together for a while now.
