I have just spent a lovely weekend in North Norfolk near Wells Next The Sea. We used to go camping here when we were childr
en - my overriding memory of those holidays is our tent pole getting bent in a storm and me getting soaking wet when the tent collapsed. I am sure this is why I have an aversion to camping. However I do also remember spending every day in our beachhut that we had hired - having BBQs and fondues (very decadent) and building enormous sandcastles. I hadn't realized until this weekend that we lived only two hours from such wonderful golden sand beaches. Given that we have lived here 5 years this is really shocking! Anyway, now that we have discovered this fact we will definitely go back on a regular basis. Fresh seafood was the highlight of the weekend - we stayed at lovely Titchwell Manor on the edge of an RSPB reserve with a vi
ew of the sea and the bird sanctuary from our window - I don't think I have ever woke
n up to a nicer view
. We went passed Morston Hall (home of the lovely Galton Blackiston, one of my all time favourite chefs - sadly fully booked, but next time!!!) and flew a kite on the beach at Wells. I think the beachuts are just as lovely as Southwold (if a little more higgledy piggledy all on different height stilts) and the beach is enormous with sail boats on the sea. I definitely recommend a visit of you are in the area. Hope you all had a lovely weekend xxx

ReplyDeleteGrowing up my grandparents took us grandkids camping and I have great memories. The only thing I could not stand was sharing the bathrooms and showers!!!
The beach huts reminds me of a rainbow.

I am so tired tonight and quite jealous about your lovely weekend! :) I love the beach huts - so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLooks beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI received the cake book in the mail this morning from Amazon.uk! I am just so impressed. It is lovely! Cant wait for the next one!
Hannah - you're right, it's so beautiful up there isn't it? You should go to Burnham Market next time, wonderful second hand bookshops and lovely lunch places....also Burnham Thorpe, where Nelson was born - tiny & sleepy, gotgeous. And Holt, and Cley...xx
ReplyDeleteLovely pics! I really enjoy reading your blog. Have you found Byfords in Holt yet? Thats not too far away from Wells next the Sea, and the food is amazing!
ReplyDeleteHi Hannah
ReplyDeleteI was there last year for the first time and had a lovely time, Holkham Hall was a highlight of my trip. So unspoiled there. Lovely to see your pictures.
