Friday 07 August I am fascinated by our relationship with the coast. Not the sea, that is something I don’t have a real connection with, although I appreciate many do. I also love the fruits of whatever is harvested from it. No, its the coast that I find wonderful. The final mile or so ofContinue reading “Day 140”

Day 135
Sunday 02 August 9am I woke this morning to the sound of young gulls cawing just outside the caravan and the tapping of pigeons on the tin roof. It was 5.52am but I smiled regardless. At 8am, Stan and I went for a regreshing run to shake the early morning cobwebs away. Then, with strongContinue reading “Day 135”
Day 134
Saturday 01 August Up in Norfolk again today; in Wells-next-the-Sea with the family. We so totally love this part of the planet and have done for many years. A poor turn out of moths last night but I didn’t give it much of a chance to be honest. There was a Garden Carpet moth (XanthorhoeContinue reading “Day 134”
Day 131
Wednesday 29 July A beautiful summer day. A gentle breeze and non-stop sunshine with plenty of big, white, happy cumulus clouds. Although they are generously scattered across the sky they never seem to block the sun. One of those days. A good day. We decided to go for a midday, midweek walk at one ofContinue reading “Day 131”
Day 121
Sunday 19 July 10.03am Third leg of the Norfolk Coastal Path today with the great and good of the Gentleman’s Film and Leisure Club. A 7.30am start and we drove to Cley-next-the-Sea to park. Then the coastal hopper bus along the coast road to Wells-next-the-Sea. The usual elements of our walks featured; the coffee toContinue reading “Day 121”
Day 111
Thursday 09 July It’s been raining for the past couple of days. In this country we tend to refer to rainy, grey days in the negative. There are exceptions of course. If there has been a prolonged period of no rain then we might see a shower as a bit of light relief, and gardenersContinue reading “Day 111”
Day 110
Wednesday 08 July It’s been a soggy old day today. It’s like laying under a damp blanket. One of those days when I don’t feel I have fully dried from the shower I had this morning. But, I also had a Cadburys Crunchie today; first time in ages and it was fantastic. So, not allContinue reading “Day 110”
Day 108
Monday 06 July Well, I have felt pretty rubbish all day. A tterrible night’s sleep included waking at around 1.30am, curled up in the foetal position, with the most intense shakes. I tried to walk but found it almost impossible to put one foot in front of the other as my muscles spasmed. I eventuallyContinue reading “Day 108”
Day 107
Sunday 05 July I love this part of the world. It’s a home from home and a place that never stops giving. As a family we have been visiting at least once a year (but usually more) since the kids were in nappies. So, this was a leg I was really looking forward to. WeContinue reading “Day 107”
Day 100
Sunday 28 June Another big walk today, and on day one-hundred! Again driving up to north Norfolk. This time to Hunstanton on a breezy, changeable day to start the North Norfolk Path. First leg, around 20km from Hunstanton to Burnham Deepdale. We parked the cars at the destination and got the coastal hopper bus toContinue reading “Day 100”
