Short Trip to Felixstowe

Wednesday October 13th
Today we were completely distracted by the rescue of the Chilean miners. It was not a great day outside so it was not hard to stay in and watch things unfolding on TV. Kathy and Mike had headed out up North to pick up their grandchildren so we were home alone.

After lunch we headed down to Felixstowe to stay with Ann and Tom Montagu for a few days. Kathy has kindly lent us her car for a few days so we drove through the scenic villages rather than taking the main road which is always full of trucks coming and going from the port.

We had a look around the main town in Felixstowe and the main street has had a real facelift with a new pedestrian area that is nearly completed.
Apart from that it was a fairly ordinary day catching up with Ann and Tom over diner and wine.
