A Chilly Trip to the Beach, Southwold Harbour, Suffolk - 2nd May 2021

It's a nice enough day so we head over to Southwold, with The Roph in tow. When the sun's out it's quite warm, however that doesn't happen very often and the cold north wind whips around and sucks out whatever warmth there is the rest of the time. Mrs. T's the fish and chip shop is open though, what with its "New Normal" outdoor seating construction, although the queues are broadly similar to pre-Covid times, so at least that hasn't changed.
