The Thames. This was taken before our boat ride with the London Eye on the right. It was a beautiful day but it did get chilly around this time. The clouds were rolling in but a light sweater took care of everything. We all can’t wait to go back and actually spend time in some of the sights/museums/galleries.

The military has the term allotment in their system but this isn’t what I’m talking about here.
Today Drew took us to the town’s allotment. It’s just a nice little walk from our place. An allotment (do take the time to read more on allotments via this link!) is a piece of land that residence can rent for a fee. The residence here use their allotment space to grow food although we saw tulips here and there and chickens.
The above photo was somebody’s scare crow we’re guessing. Now, question is, you think the other birds would get it? Drew said it’s quite Ed Poe.
Ok, I’ll add another photo, one less disturbing than the above…
Each area has a number and in this photo there are at least four different allotment owners.
It was such a nice weekend that we decided to go to the beach. We figured it’d be cold still but we heard that the drive’s beautiful and it’s only 1.5 hrs away. It was late afternoon when we left the house but we had a fantastic time anyways. We went to Southwold and these beach huts caught my eyes.
M had a wonderful time. She can’t remember the last time she went to the beach (LA when she was 3.5, btw) and to her, this was the first time. She was cold but she was having too good of a time to complain about it.
We went to Ely that day. To the market to the market we went.
I took lots of pictures that day but I love this the best because it’s been a few months now, three to be exact, since I last took a photo of this guy. The husband and dad. The hardest working, sweetest (shhhh, don’t tell him I told you), kindest, ass-holest (he’s an interesting blend), cleverest (I am the smartest), funniest, friendliest, and best looking guy. We all love him to pieces and he’s what makes our days so shiny and fun. Seriously, there’s no day without a good laugh around this guy!
The best part about moving to a new town is the exploration and meeting new people part. This photo was taken on our first outing around our little village. Quaint, quaint little place we live in!!
Note: who knows when this phone booth was used last. From the vines it seems like it’s been a little while.
