Sunday 1.



Trying to catch up a bit with this last week. On Tuesday morning we walked into town, where, in the yard of the King's Head, a bloke in a van sells fish which he says he purchased earlier the same day off the trawler quay in Lowestoft, or sometimes from the sheds on the beach at Aldeburgh. Be that as it may, his fish are always very fresh. We purchased our Tuesday supper from him. Above are sardine fillets, roast vegetables, and broccoli. We also purchased the above illustrated samphire , pronounced samfer (well locally anyway). It's a form of edible seaweed, very tasty and said to be very healthy (it's mentioned by Shakespear). I  seem to have managed to steam up the lens of the camera whilst taking these two photos.


Below is a picture of Ann in the garden. She's about to set out for Church, and left well before I need to as she's serving/deaconing (not too sure which is the correct expression) this morning. As it's an eight/ten minute walk (depending how brisk I'm feeling) I'd better go and join her.  More later perhaps.

We have samphire (it's pronounced samfer here too) at least twice a week while in season. Delicious. I first ate it in 1970 at the Royal Hotel in Norwich.
