A Trip To The Coast, Walberswick, Suffolk - 20th March 2011

Nosher's Old Chap is down for the weekend, and as the weather's nice we take the van to Walberswick on the Suffolk Coast for a couple of hours. We try out crabbing with Fred, but aren't having a huge amount of luck with our crab bait of half a banana and a cheesy puff, until some dude gives us a bit of bacon to use. This results in a small crab which we show to Fred, and then we leg it back to the van as it's got a bit cold by this time. Before that, Grandad is going one of his favourite things - setting fire to stuff - and later we're off for another wander around Thornham Walks.
