Weekend away




















We have just returned from a weekend away in Lowestoft, as a kind of short break. In spite of high pressure, it managed to rain as well as some sun shine - and once both together as the photo shows.

It was cold, and I couldn't understand why there were surfers out. I didn't know Lowestoft was known for its rollers, but it clearly is (see photo below)!

On the first day we decided to go mad, as all three of us are proud possessors of bus passes, to go to Oulton Broad by bus! That's where we saw the rainbow, by the way. We also decided to risk a game of crazy golf. I wasn't too sure after reading the health and safety warning! That's the other photo, click on it to enlarge. And the sign didn't even mention the danger of flying golf balls!

The hotel we stayed in was very pleasant. The food was good, as was the service. However I feel I should draw your attention to this bit of information in the welcome folder:

If you would like to order a room service Breakfast simply complete the Breakfast Form that has been provided at the back of this folder, and then hang outside your bedroom door and inform Reception before retiring.

We decided it would be more comfortable to go to the dining room for breakfast.

  1. That slim good looking man is me Eric, Just practising a bit of surfing before I head Orf to Cornwall next year where they have real waves, and Sharks..

    With regards to your health and safety notice, im suprised that they did not go the whole hog and issue you with a hard hat,toe tectors and goggle's..(You will soon be taking up Golf with a retired headmaster we both know) wink wink.

    Come on Eric dig deep into your wallet and treat Wifey to Breakfast in bed, a bit of pampering / room service.

    Glad you enjoyed your break you deserve it.

    Ginge.. :-)

  2. You see, the room service breakfast was only a continental one. We go for the fry up or kippers!
