This was the sight that greeted us as we crossed town for a quiet coffee on the waterfront at Ipswich today, after spending an hour criss-crossing furniture and DIY stores. Becoming something of a regular habit, as we sat outside with the warming sun beating down on us, we could easily have been somewhere in the south of France, or another quiet riverfront town on the Mediterranean coast.
It was very idyllic, and proof, if proof were needed, that the clock change has finally happened, and, once the April showers have sent us scurrying for cover, summer begins its journey towards us.
The locally-produced Tottenham Cake and cheese rusks we bought also proved to be ’sunny’, and tasted as good as they looked.
A very nice way to spend a sunny Sunday afternoon, and the first longer day of the year.
