Mixed bag weekend

So how was your weekend?  Ours was lovely, the weather played ball and we were able to enjoy some good walks.  Saturday we went to the Norfolk coast for the day. It was cold but sunny and not too windy so we walked for 3 hours then went to the Lifeboat Inn for lunch.  I am very proud of my "lunch" photos

Baked St Marcellin cheese with roasted cherry tomatoes and sourdough toast - me

Salt & Pepper Squid - Peter

We both had Smoked Haddock Rissoto 

look at the colour of that yolk!

Apple Frangipan Tart  - Peter

Cambridge Burnt Cream - me (bit like a Creme Brulee)

After lunch we drove around the coast to Wells next Sea

Then on to Cley next Sea to the fish shop for some smoked haddock - chowder for dinner tonight.

Sunday started out dull but very cold.  Luckily all the pathways are clear now so we were able to walk unhindered. Here are some comparisons

After our walk we spent the afternoon and evening in the garden room and I knocked off a few hats and mitts from oddments

Today we awoke to snow, first of the year.

Some of it cleared as the morning progressed, but it is now snowing again and is due to do so for the rest of the day!

I hate driving in snow so glad to be home from work. So stay safe, stay warm

So you want more?

It looks like I whetted your appetites with my Travelling Tales.  Afraid you will have to wait a few days for the next instalment as we have Rufus this weekend.  Plus I am reading our travel journals to refresh myself.  Would you believe we have never read each others journal.  I am finding out what he said about me, and all those boring boy bits about this motorbikes and that spare part!!  I also have hundreds of photographs to go through, it may take some time.  Here's one from the first full day riding, taken outside the Harley Davidson Factory at York, PA, by one of the factory workers.

We plan to go to the coast tomorrow, mad I know as I'm sure the world and his wife will be on the roads high tailing it for the sea.  Its what we Brits do when the sun shines.  I had forgotten how much stuff you need to take when taking a small child out for the day.  Nappies, wipes, sun cream, buggy, swimwear, change of clothes, drinks, buckets, spades, books, cuddly toy, Michael Buble CD's - his favourite (what good taste he has).  Thats before we deal with a picnic, rugs, camera and stuff for us.  Phew exhausted before we start.

Weekend away.................

Company - My wonderful Husband
Venue - Lifeboat Inn, Thornham
Weather - Windy but dry (sand blasted)
Food - Plentiful!!

I do like to be beside the seaside....

we had a lovely day today at the coast - Heacham/Hunstanton, despite the A10 in Norfolk not being gritted! We had a good walk in the sunshine, poked about in the rock pools, had fish and chips for lunch and generally had a good time, its back to work tomorrow for me and Peter.

I really must change the date on my camera, if only I knew how.
