After a quiet night at Nelson's Patch we set off.
We were going to meet Claire's sister, Sally, at Snape Maltings for lunch, and to have a look around the craft shops and art galleries. Well, they were. Reggie and I were having lunch and then would have a mooch around the site.
The cafe was dog friendly but few of the other places were. Maybe the pub?
The drive down would take about an hour and forty minutes according to Ohrex! And it was pretty much spot on. We did overshoot the entrance to the car parking as I thought from the view on Google maps that it would be on the right and not the left. In the end we got parked right at the back in the overflow car park. Parking that was almost empty when we arrived.
Lunch over they went to look around the aforementioned establishments and we had a walk around. My phone ran out of battery and so we returned to the van to put it on charge and to get the Canon DSLR out!

Then it was time to leave as we still have about three hours to drive home. With the M25 and Dartford to contend with we didn't want to be too late. As it was the traffic on both sets of roadworks on the A12 weren't too bad, and neither was Dartford in the end.
It was just before 1800 that we rolled onto the drive. The problem with getting home is the unpacking. We did most of it straight away but left a lot until the next day.
Another trip is over. We don't have anything planned now until our big trip to Spain and back up through France in May.
