...thats right, go out for a drive.
Our Uni lecturer didnt turn up. I couldnt be bothered to go home so went out for the afternoon. Headed over to Lowestoft (Suffolk coast = FTW) for lunch and just to see what was happening. Its not often I get to go out so I thought why not?
Parked up on the sea front. It was pretty warm in the car so I put both windows down and had a nice sea breeze come through the Saxo and clear the smells out.
Then decided to go for a short walk down to the beach.
Spot the parking rebel! (I never pay for parking if I can get away with it!)

It then started to rain so I headed back to the car, no ticket, happy days! Hit the road home but took a diversion when I saw 'Southwold' on a sign post. Thats Gordon Brown's holiday destination and also where Jay Kay's (Jamiroquai) Enzo was vandalised. They weren't there so carried along to Walberswick (yes that is its name lol). This is where the River Blyth meets the North Sea. No bridge so parked up and went for another (windy walk). Along this stretch of river is where lots of boats of various sizes are moored.
