There hasn't been much sewing going on at Foreman Towers recently, as we've had some Very Special Guests staying with us, all the way from New Zealand. We've been taking them out and showing them the wonderful delights of Suffolk, and exploring parts of the countryside that we haven't been to for simply ages! Today we've been over in the west of the country, visiting a wonderfully picturesque town of Lavenham, which is filled with medieval houses and is steeped in history... ...we called into the Lavenham Blue Vintage Tearooms while we were there, and had the most delicious crumpets, and toasted tea loaf, with lashings of tea... ...this was followed by a trip to Long Melford, where we enjoyed a stroll along the high street in the sunshine. Then it was time to head home, stopping off at Kersey for another photoshoot. There are so many wonderful places off explore in Suffolk, we don't always appreciate what is right on our doorstep!

I've had a very busy weekend, with both Mr F having a birthday on Saturday and our youngest daughter also having a birthday - she was 25 on Sunday - eeekkkk! Where on earth did those years go? Alice wanted to spend the day seal-watching at Blakney, North Norfolk, so we made an early start and took a 2-hour drive to Morston Quay, as we'd booked a boat trip with Beans Boats. The weather was glorious, the sea was calm, the views were stunning, and the seals were just amazing! Our boat trip included landing on Blakeney Point, and we spend an hour walking along the beach. The view out to sea was just breathtaking... ...my daughter is a very keen photographer, and she took some stunning photographs as you can see. After a delicious lunch at the Anchor pub, we headed down the coast to Horsey, hoping to see 4 or 5 seals - and we were thrilled to see an impressive colony of probably a couple of hundred seals basking in the sunshine on the beach. There were both common seals and grey seals, and several pups. We really could have spent all day watching their antics, but knew we had a 2 hour drive home again, so sadly had to leave them in the late afternoon.
