Post by: undercarriage plan on July 24, 2005, 18:40:37
My lottie is in Suffolk, by the banks of the River Deben? Have attempted to resize pics, so not too big.  But be warned........wasn't wearing my helmet at time, so anything could happen!!! Anyone near?  Lottie

Hi Lottie

I'm not near as live up in Yorkshire but my dad's Suffolk born and bred, and lives in Needham Market.  He was born in Brantham and lived a lot of his life around East Bergholt, Stutton, Dedham.  He's travelled loads and lived abroad a lot (South Africa, Australia) but Suffolk always calls him home.  So he's back there now, living in Needham, growing his own veg as always but in the back garden.

Only about 140 miles away lottie!

It looks absolutely fabulous, so peaceful. Everywhere here is roads, traffic, noise. My allotment is in a relatively quiet spot, but no where near as lovely as yours!

Dedham not far at all, Piglottie, lovely there.  And yes, I'm very lucky, rarely see another person, and in small village so very quiet........unless OH is dive bombing with his planes, then ear muffs a good idea,  or crash helmet!!!  Lottie  ;D

Very tidy lottie, Lottie.    Can I safely assume that you don't have weeds in Suffolk or was that "a little fluffing up" a full day in the dirt leaving OH to the bathroom lol.

Must admit I took pictures before digging and weeding after the rain and then realised that I should have done it the other way round  ::)  ...doh!

Bathroom still not mended, and left an article of clothing at couples' shower I just used!!!!  As for the lottie, I hoovered, dusted, polished ..........The the kids cam in and left toys everywhere....!!!! ::) ::) ::) Lottie ;)
Title: Re: Sunny Suffolk....?
Post by: Icyberjunkie on July 26, 2005, 20:15:20

;D ;D So glad you have boiler working now.  ;D ;D The boiler amongst other things nearly caused divorce & murder in this house last year. Got through 2 plumbers in the end & a chance remark in the local plumbers merchants one day was all it took in the end to get the boiler sorted >:( >:( >:( Nearly blue a gasket when we found out what the trouble was in the end :o :o ;D but there we are all in the past now.  ;D We have to laugh about it now   ::) ::);D ;D ;D ;D Well I'll leave you to polish & dust the veg, ditch the suitecase & take a long relaxing bath ;D ;D ;D ;D

Post by: Marianne on July 29, 2005, 15:39:06
Lottie, many years ago, I used to go to the old Felixstowe and for a long walk along the river Deben.  There is a rotunda there (no idea what it is) and a lovely pub called the Victoria where I had many good meals.  There is a lovely harbour there too with pretty boats and I took a boat to the other side.  Good memories !   :D ;D ;D
Title: Re: Sunny Suffolk....?
Post by: Derekthefox on July 29, 2005, 17:22:21
