Southwold Lighthouse

Leaving the pier we passed a row of very pretty beach huts and Wilson, remarking on how lovely they were, asked whether he could have one for his birthday. Sadly that won't be happening as Southwold's beach huts are among the most expensive in the country, being priced at between £50,000—£100,000 each! 

W took this news well, reflecting that it would be quite a long drive to Southwold and there were perfectly nice (and much cheaper) beach huts in Hove and Seaford, which are both much nearer home. 

Or I suggested he might have a shed in the garden painted to look like a beach hut.

Making our way through the centre of this beautiful little village, the lighthouse seemed as characteristic of it as the Eiffel Tower is of Paris, visible from everywhere. 

Speaking of which, Wilson really wants to go to Paris one day. Also Venice, as long as he doesn't fall into a canal.
