Sunrise at Ipswich Docks

Sunrise at Ipswich Docks Now the night of Sutton Common was the night of babysitting for Esmee I'm pretty sure because I went to Ipswich Docks the next morning whilst hangovers were slept off, maybe....

Me, I'd fallen asleep in front of the telly watching QI and been woken up by Esmee crying. She was easily fixed by a quick cuddle and re-emplacement within the cot and dummy re-insertion. Bob was my uncle.

Ipswich Docks are looking quite nice, if you look in the right direction. The glut of "luxury apartments" is in full swing down there with little blocks of flats aplenty, and there is quite a stylish building associated with the University. In the other direction there's a real-life tower block going up... still. They started it before we left and frankly it's taking a long time. James reckons they've run out of money and stopped work but it seemed pretty noisy to me.

The next few days involved seeing a lot more people, a trip to Rendlesham Forest where the walk was closed, would you believe, so no stomping there. A trip to town to buy some trousers. A lot of shops closing down. A timeless sense of not really having been away for very long and yet having been away for ever. And not really having missed it.

It was pretty cold but not to be honest all that cold. Not so much of a shock as expecting. More dank, really.

But the weather forecast promised snow and snow aplenty.
