Mother and Mike are staying in a groovy apartment in Aldringham Hall - a converted small stately-home-type-gaff. Cool.

Mother relaxes in the lounge

The view out of the windows

The front of the house

Mother wanders out

At Sutton Hoo - the famous Viking/Saxon site near Woodbridge in Suffolk

One of the Sutton Hoo burial mounds (OK, so it look just like a mound of grass)

Mike and Mother pose in front of the heap

Later on, at Orford Ness

Not quite Sea Henge, but a close approximation formed by the remains of an old hut or something

Walking along the breakwater

Later on, back at Aldringham Hall

and in the Parrot and Punchbowl, for a spot of dinner

A final photo

On Friday, a trip to the cinema to see "The Day After Tomorrow" - but first, some sweets
