King George VI looking mighty fine in his Southwold shorts ;)
The 7th generation clothing boutique Denny of Southwold posted on Instagram:
"...we think back on the day in 1937 that we were lucky enough to receive a visit from (King Charles') grandfather, King George VI.
Our team of 26 tailors and 3 cutters ensured that they had each applied a stitch to the pair of shorts that we were asked to make for him. The picture shows him wearing the exact pair of shorts at a boys summer camp on the common."
Bertie always wanted to dressed the same as the boys at his Duke of York Camp (later King's Camp) and participate in their same activities.

SO CUTE!
Bertie being all awkward and forgetful with the camp sing-songs :)
The Duke of York attending his beloved Boys' Summer Camp in Southwold, Sussex, 1935. The gestures are to an old Pennsylvania Dutch folk song called Johnny Schmoker.

Two and a Half Seasons
Yesterday I went out and bought a sleeping bag. I knew I wouldn’t need a four seasons one as I’ve no intention of camping in winter – though who knows, with this new personality I’ve suddenly sprouted who wants to go wild swimming? I wouldn’t rule it out – so I went for a three seasons one. Spring, summer and autumn. I tried it out last night and it seemed pretty toasty so that’s all good. I’m…

I love reflections in glass, this one is of the lighthouse at Southwold viewed by reflection from a glass panel on Southwold Pier. #southwold #southwoldpier #reflection #lighthouse #southwoldlighthouse #southwoldsuffolk (at Southwold) https://www.instagram.com/p/CiszNr1r44z/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We smelt the coffee as we ride last and it did by disappoint. Oat milk and fresh decaf available. Vegan and gluten free food options available to ore-order and some scrummy looking evening take out meals and the owner has a great sense of humour. Disabled access is OK (probably not great for wheelchairs - but fine with my stick) and no toilet. Legs firmly crossed 🤣@ninedeli_southwold #coffee #southwold #suffolk #vegan #dairyfree #vegetarian #glutenfree #seaside #uktour #motorbikes #disability https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf_1VmWspPT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just look at that expression! 😆
The Duke of York (later King George VI) at The Duke of York Boys’ Camp, Southwold, Sussex UK, c. 1932.
I think my favourite photos of Bertie come from when he attended his summer camps from 1921-1939. For all his shyness, in the right company he was actually a high-spirited and playful man, and I like to believe these annual events brought out some of that joy!

Southwold visit
Southwold is a beautiful seaside gem. It’s like someone picked up part of Cornwall and parked it on our door step; well it’s approximately a hours drive.
Artwork in southwold inspired by George Orwell who once live in Southwold.
I love walking along southwold pier and enjoying whatever it has to offer this time there was this quirky Tim Hunkin ‘ The Under The Pier Show’.
