A Few Days by the Sea – Lowestoft & Southwold
We escaped to the Suffolk coast for a few days of fresh air, family time, and the kind of peaceful nothingness that only comes with being near the sea. Based in our family bungalow in Lowestoft, we found comfort in the little things: reading, chatting, wandering, and letting time slow down.
One of the highlights was Catto — the family cat who lives at the bungalow. She doesn’t travel, she just quietly owns the place, drifting in and out like she’s on her own relaxed holiday. We were merely her guests.
A short trip to Southwold gave us the iconic lighthouse and pier, and a bit of that classic seaside charm. Back in Lowestoft, we watched the waves roll in, admired the brightly coloured beach huts, explored quiet streets, and visited Pakefield’s church, where a very chilled sheep seems to have taken up residence among the gravestones. It's the sort of thing you only notice when you’re not in a rush.
Nothing fancy. Just a few quiet days that felt like a deep breath.
