A friend had booked a holiday rental in Suffolk and asked if we wanted to go instead when her plans changed. We were grateful for the offer as rentals booked quickly this year and we had pretty much left it too late for a July break.
So we are doing something a little different! We are off on a traditional British summer holiday to the seaside in Southwold, a charming town on the Suffolk Heritage Coast complete with a beach-hut lined promenade, a pier, a lighthouse and a sandy beach. What’s more, it required absolutely no research or planning, all we had to do was say yes and pay the bill!
We have been hoping for reasonable weather, always a big ask in England in the summer, and have packed for every season, but the recent forecast is looking very promising! There are walks around Southwold as well as each way along the coast and inland through marshes and heathland, as well as drives if the weather is not so so good. We’ve even packed our swimmers just in case, but I think that might be a bit optimistic!
I’m feeling just as excited about this holiday as I’ve been about some of our far more exotic travels … and only one more sleep!
