Fritton Lake

We picked up a passenger in Kelvedon - cousin Allie. She's come to stay for the week. Today we went to Fritton Lake, part of the Somerleyton Estate - a 10 minute drive out of Lowestoft into beautiful woodlands with an enormous lake as its centrepiece. During the second world war they developed an amphibious tank there in secret.

Here are Allie and Alastair bombing around on the tractor. As you can see, Alastair just has a small dressing plaster over his closed hole while it heals.

Alastair continuing his recuperative programme, letting others do the work.

I don't know what this plant is, and would have made a good den but for the spiky flowers and stems inside.

We thought this was an innocuous enough photo, until we realised what Gregor was doing.....

After such indecent exposure, Allie and Alastair sought refuge in the castle.
