What we did for Christmas

 Hi, I just realised that other than mentioning that I caught a cold over Christmas, I haven't said where we we spent our time.

AS some of you may know, we don't celebrate Christmas, preferring to spend time away from the consumer madness. After a quick dash round the supermarket for a few days worth of food and our only nod to seasonal snacks ( pigs in blankets and individual slices of cake) we headed over to the East Coast. 

I know many would guess that we were heading back to Bridlington but not this time. Our destination was Cromer, Norfolk, the weather forecast very cold and very windy but mainly dry.

                                                          I love crossing this bridge.

Christmas Eve started out grey and blustery, we headed into town to do a circuit of the charity shops and buy some gloves for me as my usual fingerless mitts just weren't enough.

Christmas day was sunny, windy, cold but we ventured out for an hour or so then retreated to the van for hot drinks.

Boxing day started with coffee and breakfast in a nearby cafe followed by an hour or so taking photos then knitting and coffee in another cafe as we exchanged notes as to what we had seen. This sort of challenge gets more difficult in places that we have visited several times.

I have never seen this shop open, every time I look through the window it looks like the contents are slowly mouldering away.
