Gone Crabbing

Its been a month since i have written anything and it feels like 6, life has been really hectic with our big relocate.  We have been out exploring our new surroundings and have had a lot of fun exploring a new beach every single weekend and each one very different, i really love the countryside beautiful landscapes and the light seems different here more crystal clear, everything is more relaxed, calm and the aspirational life we were looking for.





One of our jaunts was out to Walberswick a quaint and beautiful little village next to the sea with a large river that runs down to the coast, of course the perfect place for a harbor with lots of little fishing boats that you can buy fresh fish from.

What i love about the culture round here is everyone seems to have there own little shops outside their houses and boats selling anything from flowers and veg to unwanted things to home made goodies,  we found this little stall selling little badges, how cool.


One thing Walberwick is infamous for is crabbing.  We now have our own crabbing kit and love crabbing as it is loads of fun, we caught loads of crabs big and small.  Sophie seemed to have the perfect knack and caught the most.  Ella who couldn't catch any crabs was still intrigued by the buckets of squiggling crabs.


After tempting the crustaceans out of the river with slabs of bacon i showed Sophie how to get up close to the crabby kind, she didn't need to be asked twice and loved holding the crabs.  However daddy was petrified and refuse to hold one Ha Ha !  of course we had to tip out the crabs and watch them scuttle off back down to the river.
