And on to Aldeburgh

Our first walkabout in Aldeburgh took in the lifeboat station

(The lifeboat is now launched off a crawler tractor base but my first memories of Aldeburgh go back to the time when it was launched down a slipway and later hawled out of the water across tarred planks where the ones that were finished with behind had to be dragged round to the front)

Amazingly the model yacht pond is still there

And the centre piece Moot Hall is still in fine condition

We stayed at the White Lion Hotel with a sea facing room...

...from which we could watch the early morning catch being landed...

...and gutted and sold to eager buyers (and the seagulls queued up to be fed the "guts")
