Brett had to go back to work today. Caught the train back to London. We did some exploring. It was forecast to be 4 degrees but it turned out to be a lovely day and by lunch time the sun was shining brightly.
Our first stop was St Mary’s Church at Cley-next-the-Sea. It was built in the 1300s. It is a Norman church design. There is also a windmill there. Apparently, the Dutch came across to assist with the draining of the fens and used these windmills to pump the water. We visited this great deli there as well.
Our next stop was the crossing over the River Glaven at Glandford. The children put on their wellies and went for a paddle. However, they just kept going in and the water was well over the wellies!!!! They had a great time. I can’t believe they were not frozen solid but they didn’t seem to mind the cold at all.
After a late, late lunch in Holt, we drove home and went to the beach here at Weybourne. It was about 4.45 so the light was great for photography. The beach is a pebble beach and the pebbles form a huge ridge (bit like the dunes in Oz). The tide was coming in and it was surprising just how quickly it moved up the beach. On the cliff tops were several World War 2 gun bunkers so we walked to have a look at them before heading home.
