Might be a possibility for Hanae and Myself, how will the transport thing work?
We need a break somewhere, so if we get some funds for that weekend we may well just pop up..
Even if the monkey man will be there I can handle a bit of Chimping.

//www.zippix.co.uk/shop/shop-Suffolk-Thorpness.php This is the village that I live in

//www.simplonpc.co.uk/Orford.html, after the boat trip we will wander and roll around here

//imatt.co.uk/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=aldeburgh, this is about 2 miles from me in each diretion (sorta)

//www.visit-suffolkcoast.co.uk/locations/orford, we will go on a four hour boat trip to see views and rare birds

Then there is the Meare that we will rent a boat on and make Monkey Man row us all over, unbelivable wildlife and weeping willows, think along the lines of Toad Hall and Ratty etc etc

I am back in Lowestoft now, and I will try and get down to Thorpness to meet you all!!
I don't currently have a car, but hopefully my partner will have passed his test by then, or I will make his brother (my chaufer) bring us all down for a day on the boats :)

After reading a different thread I have realised I might not be able to do the boat trips and things Juliet....might have to sit this one out, am not good on my feet at the best of times!

I like Suffolk, lived just outside Ipswich for a few years. Got to see a lot of the county.

Don't think we can make it though, work is pretty intense at the moment. But, who knows??
