Walking on Dunwich Heath this afternoon. The gorse is still flowering but unfortunately we're just a few days to late to see the heather at its best.

Oops!! A hole has appeared in the dining room ceiling. The plasterer is coming next week so we've spent today trying to empty the room! But where do you put all the stuff??

Researching my family history is one of my biggest interests. Having a wide range of archives online now is a real blessing and has enabled me to find out so much more.

A sad photo today. Our local pub called time for the last time on Saturday evening. It will be a big miss for all of us. I will miss lunch with my friends and fish & chips on a Friday (they did a marvellous take away service), my husband and son will miss meeting their friends on Friday evenings and my daughter's lost her holiday job! Remembering some good times.

This afternoon we visited the Mechanical Music Museum at Cotton. An Aladdin's cave of musical memorabilia. We listened to fairground organs, barrel organs, pianolas and musical boxes. Later we were entertained by a marvellous rendition on the mighty Wurlitzer theatre organ. A really enjoyable afternoon.

Steam on the East Suffolk Line. Oliver Cromwell - 70013 visited East Anglia today. I caught this photo at Westerfield station. A beautiful and majestic sight and one that evokes many memories of times gone by.

A hot and sunny day with a blue, blue sky and then the cloud came bubbling up. I love the cloud formation in the photo.

My daughter ordered this beautiful top online but when it arrived it was a little to big. To return it was rather expensive and involved a lot of hassle. Fifteen minutes with a needle and cotton and it fits perfectly!!

A special bottle of Apple Juice. I bought this little luxury in Sandringham a few weeks ago. Apple Juice pressed from apples from the Queen's Orchards. It was such a warm and balmy day today that we decided to treat ourselves and have it with lunch. Ice cold - it was delicious!!

A day to clear my desk of the piles of debris that it seems to attract!! A photo to remind me that it is possible and to hopefully keep it that way!!

A walk along the cliff top at Old Felixstowe. I love the super colours of these beach huts.

Another beautiful sunny day. Just right for a drive out into the Suffolk countryside and lunch at this lovely pub.

The hanging baskets in the garden are flowering well this year. This red petunia really glows in the early morning sun.

A painted lady butterfly visits the buddleia in the garden. The first one I've seen this year.

My latest book. A charming story about a group of people on the island of Guernsey after the Occupation in 1946 and their newly formed friendship with an author. The story is told in the form of letters between London and Guernsey.
Fascinating - I didn't want to put it down!

I have always liked the paintings by L S Lowry and it was lovely to see the originals in the gallery. There are so many details in each picture and it was good to be able to take time to appreciate each one.

My long awaited trip to Manchester and the Salford Quays. Here was my chance to visit the Lowry Centre - something I've wanted to do for ages and I wasn't disappointed.

Another evening in with a DVD. This is a good story with a funny side and a sad side. We really enjoyed it.

Our hotel in Old Hunstanton. We've had a super 4 days - time to make the journey home!

The lavender fields of Norfolk are at their best at the moment. The perfume as you pass by is wonderful - definitely time to open the car windows! We couldn't pass by without stopping at the Lavender Shop and Restaurant. A cup of tea and a lavender scone are not to be missed.

Time for a few days away in Hunstanton, North Norfolk. (Sunny Hunny) The weather was glorious and I couldn't resist a photo of this beautiful sky.
