Knitting - Shoal of Ganseys

Our morning started sitting in bed listening to the thunder, no rain at that point but plenty of noise.  We hit to road to Sheringham and about 30 mins from home we ran in to this

then this

then this

fortunately as we got closer to the coast it stopped and we arrived in Sheringham to heavy grey skies but dry.

The exhibition at The Mo was very good and its a lovely museum with lots of interesting things besides the Gansey exhibition.  Peter was fully occupied.  It was a pleasant walk round, not crowded and apart from a couple of "know it all" a fun hour.  It was so funny Peter and I were round one side of this display

when I commented that some of the jumpers were machine knitted.  "Oh no they aren't" announces Mrs Know-it-all, they are hand-knitted! "Really" says I, "then these display cards must be wrong as they say machine knitted here".  Mr Know-it-all then comes over and rather than believe me he takes a look before agreeing they were wrong!!!!  You wouldn't believe the rubbish they had be spouting previously to this. It was really satisfying to bring these people down a peg or two.

Here are a few collage photos of the displays

As I said there were lots of other things to look at here's just a few

When we came out we popped into the yarn market which was neither here nor there, and hardly worth the bother, very crowded and not much to see.  Also it was raining again!! We managed to pick up some fresh dressed crabs before heading back to the car

Did I warn you this was a photo heavy post?

We jumped into the car and headed out along the north norfolk coast road, stopping at the Dun Cow in Salthouse for lunch

pint of Woodfordes shandy for me

warm Summer Salad

Whitebait

Sweetbreads for Peter, bit blurry I'm afraid

We stopped at the Smokehouse in Cley for smoked fish and an ice cream from Picnic Fayre, and by the time we hit Old Hunstanton it was...........

but it soon cleared over and we managed a walk through the Sensory Gardens to enjoy the roses

and finally some sunshine

 washed down with a pot of tea and a cake.

All in all a lovely and enjoyable day, whats a bit of rain when all is said and done

Then we were two

Our little man is safely delivered back to his relaxed and chilled out Mummy and Daddy.  Granny and Pops have had a super weekend.  The weather couldn't have been better, though proved to be a touch stressful making sure that Rufus didn't burn. 

Here are a few pictures so show what we got up too.

 Friday - Doing a bit of play-housework

Heacham Beach before the tide went out - snack time

 Pony Rides on Hunstanton Beach

 Being silly on the walk back to Heacham with Aunty Rachel

You could see this happening - at least he thought it was funny

Sunday gardening and the wiggly worms!!!

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.
