On Saturday as neither of us had won anything at the British we decided to make the most of the day and spend time in the local area. Our first stop was Herringwood Hills and a walk around the nature reserve there. Then it was on to another reserve, Carlton marshes, just past Outen Broad. We cycled down to the River Waveney, almost opposite the river centre that we had hired canoes from last Saturday. Before we left we unearthed our £1 kite and had some fun trying to keep it airborne! As I hadn't flown a kite since I was a child and John has never flown a kite you could say that we are novices. Afterwards it was on to Beccles to pick up our cooker. I should explain that this one was half price and with our lifestyle we have to pick up bargains of things that we need when we see them. We'd done an internet search for the particular model and the cheapest there was £70 dearer. So, it seems like a good deal to us.
Sunday, another sunny day saw us taking the tent down and then meandering our way home. First stop was Southwold and a more successful kite flying experience. We had some hints from a teenage boy flying a stunt kite nearby - a great help. Then down to Aldeburgh and a wander around the town. Finally home.
