Coldham's Traffic Light Destruction, and a Trip to the Pier, Cambridge and Southwold - 21st October 2007

The Old Chap is over to visit, which is well-timed as it's one of those like-summer weekends. However, the downside is that it means no trips out in the new toy - a Mazda MX-5, with the roof down - but at least it's always nice being in Southwold. Before that, there's a night out at a noodle bar in Cambridge followed by some destroyed traffic lights on Coldham's Lane in Cambridge, then later it's the annual picking of the orchard.
