| boats on the beach |
Without a doubt our best weekend of 2011! We visited friends Michaela, Alistair & Henry at their now infamous holiday house in Aldeburgh - home to Jane Muir's Mrs Downtown & the much loved Mr Pea-pod (in situ shots coming soon). Hot sunny weather combined with wonderful hospitality & the odd glass of Pimms :) The town of Aldeburgh is full of character, history, and art galleries - we'd love to open one! We admired the controversial beach sculture
'The Scallop' by Maggi Hambling, created in memory of local composer
Benjamin Britten, the pierced words are taken from Britten's opera 'Peter Grimes'. Reactions to the piece are mixed, some consider it a shame to have such a huge piece dominating the natural landscape. It creates a memorable statement on a vast expanse of beach, is an imaginative focal point for children to play, a visual document of the strength and beauty of the sea. Popular culture includes Lukas' favourite house
'Seahorse Cottage' a.k.a. 'Grandpa in My Pocket'. Lukas asked if we could go there and....shrink!
