Norfolk

Saturday 24th October

As rain was forecast, we did not leave London until about 11 AM. As we passed over Tower Bridge we met up with road works so we were forced to make a detour. Enroute, we passed the stadium and the new velodrome being constructed for the Olympic Games. The area seems to be well on the way.

We arrived at Weybourne about 3 PM, unloaded the car. It was grey and rainy. The family all donned their rain gear and went for a walk to the beach. I stayed curled up beside the fire with a book.

On Sunday, we went for a drive along the Norfolk Coast Cromer that is famous for Cromer crabs, then back to Sherington. The steam train had pulled up at the station so we saw that before we walked to the beach. The children enjoyed a climb over the huge rocks.

Later in the day, we went to Blakeney where the children went crabbing. We were there a little early as the tide did not come in until 8PM and it was a long way to lift the crabs as their net handles were not enough. It was absolutely freezing cold but the children had a fantastic time trowing in the crab nets and catching the crabs. Before we left, they set them free again.
