A Day with Sis, Matt and the Old Man, Saxmundham, Suffolk - 28th December 2004

Sis and Matt had rented a cottage in Saxmundham, to escape the "joys" of Morden for Christmas. The Old Chap arrived at Nosher's early on Monday morning, and after a short trip to Saxmundham itself, and the beach at Aldeburgh, it was time to go back to the tiny-but-cute cottage for firelighting, Coca-Cola Ham, and several beers.
