ALDEBURGH CHRISTMAS

We decided an a weekend break after school term end. One of our favourite places with lots of great memories. Some a bit weird, but will come to The Continental Cafe later πŸ˜‰

Found a perfect Airbnb with a view of the sea and location very close to town centre. Spare bedroom, Lola was staying with us so a party of four.

Arrived early evening, really quiet. Quite magical.

Fish and chips supper….of course πŸ˜€

Woke up to an amazing sunrise

Alice run, seems very pleased

Beach walk

Stroll through the shops. I nipped in to Thai Street Cafe for quick pint. This was the Continental Cafe Alice and I spent a mad afternoon in before Mabel was born. Even then Aldeburgh was becoming gentrified but the Continental Cafe seemed the last holdout of the local misfits and characters. This was previously a Pharmacy and the old large dusty bottles still in the window, suspect pharmaceuticals were still available πŸ˜€. That time somehow ended upstairs with the locals watching horse racing, nope no idea why!

Still retains a seedy air with only 3 beers on tap. And local characters still available.

Saturday evening meal in Prezzo. Lola babysat while we had a few in the Cafe, good fun.

Sunday morning we walked the run Alice did Saturday. Fabulous, cold and clear.
