A Day at the Beach with Sis, Southwold, Suffolk - 31st May 2021

Sis is staying in the area for a few days, so we take Grandad out for lunch at the Stoke Ash White Horse, and then hang out at the holiday barn conversion, which happens to be at Clive and Suzanne's place. The following day, we all head off to spend most of the day at Southwold. Before all of that, there's a burst of extreme weather, as a hail storm leaves actual drifts of hail on the garden furniture.

The hail really comes down

The hail really comes down

There's a covering of white within minutes

Wandering back to the car park

The Southwold Marshes

An implausibly-derelict house on Ferry Road

The cannon of Gun Hill

There's a funfair in town

Cliff-top house and a load of pink flowers
