A Postcard From Felixstowe Ferry, Suffolk - 10th September 2023

It's the last of the unexpected golden weather, so we head over to Felixstowe to spend an hour or two on the beach, and have lunch in our new favourite eatery - Alba Chiarra, aka Pinsa and Pasta. After that, we move over to nearby Felixstowe Ferry for an ice-cream and a look around. It's Nosher's first visit there since a BSCC splinter group bike ride from Shottisham back in 2004.
