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

Growing 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!
Looks beautiful!
I 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
Lovely 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!
Hi Hannah
I 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.
