Weekend in Norfolk





Just came back from a romantic weekend with zee boyfriend - we were off to Norfolk up North for a weekend at his parents' cottage - it was great. Last time we were there it was freezing and it actually snowed on the beach, where as this time we were a bit luckier with the weather and even saw a bit of sunshine. I believe our tour de Norfolk consisted of Norwich, Blakeney, Cley, Brancaster, Burnham Market, Holt, Cromer, Wells by the Sea, and their own little village outside of Fakenham, but I'm sure we drove through even more. It was Bank Holiday Weekend over here, so everyone had Monday off, which conviently was Jack's 30th birthday. After dancing with the Latin American crowd at Mestizo on Friday late into the night as a benefit for Mauritzio's NGO, getting up to catch out 8:30am train was rough. But... we made it... and spent Saturday and drove from one quaint fishing village to another, stopping in for crab sandwiches and coffees along the way. We also picked up sea bass, smoked salmon and crab and then went home and made a fabulous dinner - it had been quite some time since I had had such high quality seafood, hands-down. On Sunday we were able to go to a beautiful vast beach surrounded by a wooded pine forest - it was cold and windy - but lovely and fun to be able to walk in the sand and stick my toes in the water! I have some funny pictures from that day - along with some pics of a beautiful church just outside of Cley.... the computer is rubbish right now so I'll have to try and add them later!
