title The Regatta Restaurant with Mother and Mike, Aldeburgh, Suffolk - 10th August 2006 intro Just before heading over to Dublin to meet Isobel's family, Isobel visits Nosher's Mother and stepdad at their rented cottage in Friston, Suffolk. We only have an evening of it, and so after a short walk around on the beach, we go out for dinner at the Regatta seafood restaurant in Aldeburgh, on the coast of Suffolk. imgp5498 Isobel, Mother and Mike on the shingle beach of Aldeburgh imgp5499 Mike roams around on the beach imgp5503 Isobel goes for a paddle in the freezing North Sea imgp5504 Mother loses a shoe imgp5505 Mother and Mike on the beach imgp5507 A cool swirly fish-shape made of pebbles imgp5508 A fishing boat on the beach imgp5511 A boat near the South lookout tower imgp5512 We just miss the inshore lifeboat putting to sea imgp5514 A bronze statue of Snooks, the HMV-alike dog imgp5516 Flowerbeds near the Aldeburgh Moot Hall imgp5517 Isobel pokes the Moot Hall imgp5519 Isobel looks around the 16th Century Moot Hall imgp5523 Aldeburgh Moot Hall and the seafront promenade imgp5525 The fresh fish shed imgp5526 Derelict shed and boardwalk imgp5527b An old winch imgp5528 Half-circle window in the ground imgp5529 Walking through Aldeburgh imgp5530 Nice Aldeburgh window with blinds imgp5531 The Aldeburgh Market petrol station imgp5532 Aldeburgh petrol pump imgp5533 An alleyway down to the Cross Keys Inn imgp5534 The old Aldeburgh garage and petrol station imgp5535 "Drink Doggie, Drink" on a dog-watering fountain imgp5537 We're in Regatta restaurant for dinner imgp5539 Isobel chooses food imgp5541 Other diners in the restaurant imgp5542 Mother gets some tapenade imgp5545 Isobel with a glass of white wine imgp5549 Mike leans out imgp5550 Food arrives imgp5555 Kitchen cupboards imgp5558 Above the bar, the head of a Pacific Sailfish
