Felixstowe

We went to Felixstowe on Saturday. We’d been before, but only to Languard Fort; this time we walked along the sea front behind the beach huts as far as the sea defences, which curve out into the sea like some giant’s stepping stones.
Felixstowe was once an important holiday resort with three train stations serving the town the beach and the pier. Now there’s only one, and it’s not so much a holiday resort any more. The pier is closed and falling down and, out of season, the beach huts were all closed up for winter.
We walked up and down to the high street, along the sea front and back to the bingo for a cup of tea. It was closed, so we ended up in The Alex, a snazzier bar than most, where we drank coffees and milkshakes under the outdoor heaters watching the sun go down.
