Boxing Day in Southwold, Suffolk - 26th December 2025

The boys, as usual, can't be bothered, so Nosher and Isobel leave them to it and drive over to Southwold for a walk in the biting easterly wind. To warm up we visit the Sole Bay Inn for a plate of chunky chips and, thanks to Isobel volunteering to drive back, the ultimate treat of a couple of pints of Adnams Old - the first of the winter.
