a brief escape

We spent a night in Wells-next-the-Sea on the North Norfolk coast, staying in a lovely cottage with D's family. We didn't arrive till late in the day on Saturday so had a brief walk along the coastal path before enjoying beers and sweets outside a pub on the quay. 

Sunday we took the narrow gauge railway to the beach, the kids couldn't wait to get to the trampolines and enjoyed lots of bouncing before feeding the ducks. We then had a walk on the beach and climbed the mountains (the dunes to you and me). 


It was only a brief visit, D and I haven't been there for years so it was nice to return and would be even nicer to stay a little longer next time.

head in the clouds

I'm beginning to think I spend too much time looking up at the sky! My excuse is it's just that time of year when the sky looks so amazing. I couldn't resist taking a couple of snaps on my phone through the train window this morning.

I love it when the post arrives! When I'm at home I eagerly await the sound of post tumbling through the letterbox, and when I've been out all day it's the second thing I look for (after the cats). 


The latest was this postcard of Dame Edna, a painting by John Brack, sent from my friend Jo who is holidaying in Oz - lucky thing! It bought a smile to my face, when I was a kid I used to love it when Dame Edna came on TV calling everyone possum, with her purple hair and cat-eye glasses! How I longed for a pair of those specs, luckily I don't have to wear glasses but if ever I do I fancy myself in a pair of cat-eyes.
