On Tuesday 22nd May we went for a walk on the beach at Aldeburgh, famous for the Aldeburgh music festival started in 1975 by Benjamin Britten. the photographs show houses at Thorpness and the beach at Aldeburgh. The beach has a new controversial sculpture, the Scallop by Maggi Hambling . The sculpture is dedicated to Benjamin Britten and the edge of the shell is pierced with the words "I hear those voices that will not be drowned" from the opera Peter Grimes. And who is the mermaid?
Today we head North to York via Lincoln and the Humber Bridge.
