Lavenham 2020 Day 3

 My recent trip to Lavenham was a mixed bag. While I loved the place, many of the things were closed due to covid 19, including the spa at our hotel. So, we decided to leave Lavenham today and go to Aldeburgh beach. And, I must say, it was worth it!

Despite the miserable weather, we were determined to make the most of our trip. Our first stop was at a gallery, where we stumbled upon two magnificent paintings. We didn't know where we would put them, but they were too good to pass. Aldeburgh was a bustling town with plenty of quirky little shops and eateries. We strolled along the beach, admiring the colourful boats bobbing on the water and the plethora of colourful houses in the backdrop.

As we walked, we spotted the impressive 4-meter-high steel scallop designed by Maggi Hamling. Further down the beach, we came across Ash's smoked fish hut, which was very busy. We knew it was one of the best places to have fish in the area, so we waited for our turn. We ordered a tasting platter and relished every bite as we sat in the perfect setting for our lunch.

We spent the rest of the day enjoying the beach until the weather started to turn. As the rain came down heavily, we ended up eating the area's famous fish and chips in the car. Despite the weather, we had a lovely few days away and tried not to let covid 19 spoil our fun.
