We arrived back from a most relaxing week in Norfolk on Saturday. We had rented a wooden chalet on the river Yare in Brundall, on the Broads. The chalet was very comfortable, but the best bit about it was the garden which was beautifully kept, a large patio, and lawn down to the river. It was wonderful to eat breakfast watching the ducks in the garden and sundry wildlife on the river, including heron and swans.
I must admit though that that part of Norfolk is not my favourite, I much prefer the north of the county, where you have the coast and those large Norfolk skies.
We spoilt ourselves rising late, taking time over breakfast, and then planning the day. Many visits were made to old and new places, with lovely meals in the middle of the day.
Some of my favourite visits were to Blakeney, Ranworth Church , and a new one for us Pensthorpe, the Natural Centre of Norfolk which have both an excellent Cafe and shop.The centre have hosted the TV programme Springwatch.
Whilst there I was able to take advantage of some lovely shops to finish the Christmas present buying.
Home now and catching up with jobs, and friends. Sad news is that Edna has had another stroke and is not at all well, poor old Keith jogs along, doing a wonderful job of caring for her.
Well Christmas approaches fast, lots of planning to do, before our holiday in Borrowdale. Come on family we really must get down to making arrangements for meeting up. I will say again that we would love to have anyone or all to stay for New Year for however long people would like. Please talk about it and then talk to me.
