Hmm … fine drizzle on the westfacing windows … they didn’t mention that on the app … in fact they don’t acknowledge that it’s happening. It must be just on us ☔️

Unfortunately not. By that time it was raining heavily, and we had just taken refuge in stage one tent. It got so hot and stuffy there that we left in the middle of the Elephant Sessions at 7 and missed the rest. We are getting too old for it I fear. The drive there from Lux it's what knocks us off. I ❤ Suffolk Dove. An artistic family yours. 🙂
Afternoon all, thanks for that info Dove, very useful. Premier Inns, where we stayed before had vacancies but as it's very close to Dreamland, we declined their offer. Most other places were fully booked so we struggled last night to find anywhere near to our friends. We eventually found a mobile home on a holiday park which will be a new experience for us, haven't stayed in a caravan since the kids were small! Looks very nice and we can spread ourselves out over the 3 bedrooms or even share if any of our mutual friends are also stumped for somewhere to stay.
Your son is going great guns Dove, must take after his mother!
My sock gadget has arrived but it looks far too big for my tiny socks. Will try it out later. Also had delivered a pack of of solar LED fence lights to fit on the long drive fence, a little job for OH when he has a spare moment.
A great shame @coccinella that the weather and the festival was a bit of a disappointment but nice to meet up with your friends. That beach looked fantastic, reminded me of the one we found last year further up (or down?) the Norfolk coast near an oil/gas refinery or something big and industrial! Dove will likely know where I mean.
Sainsbury's delivery man has just been so that means we can now have lunch - fridge was practically empty. I also ordered two bottles of no-alcohol wine, one fizz and one rose as I'm not allowed to drink alcohol at the moment - boo hoo. Hope they are drinkable!
I ❤️ Suffolk too @coccinella … I lived there from the age of 4 until my divorce at 42 … it would be my home even now we’re it not for the need to put some distance between myself and ex.
Niece and family have gone back to their gite. We had the first course on the patio then the heavens opened so we had to rush into the dining room to finish our lunch. Then the sun came out again so we took photos of each other in the garden. The children have grown, it is 4 years since I last saw them. On their home ground in West Yorkshire the last time.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

Showers are forecast, may even be thundery this afternoon. I was hoping to have lunch outside as niece, her OH and 2 children are coming to lunch.

now just a few houses but formerly a major port and the capital of East Anglia.
and can really recommend it if anyone’s interested in an enigmatic peaceful and romantic place to stay.
