A "Minimoon" and an Adnams Brewery Trip, Southwold, Suffolk - 7th July 2010
Gemma - one of "The Mommies" - offers to look after The Boy for three nights, and so Nosher and Isobel head over to Southwold in the MX-5, with the roof down. We stay at The Swan Hotel in the middle of town, and spend a very pleasant couple of days having a "mini-honeymoon" just hanging around, visiting the beach and the pubs and even getting a trip around the Adnams Brewery - a kind of beer shrine.
