NCR - not craft related

 Hi, 

We managed to get away for a long weekend, making the most of the weather before we find ourselves with travel restrictions.

Just 120 or so mile to Norfolk, an area that we have never really explored either by bike or van.

A last minute booking ( we had to wait to find out what the new restrictions announced last Wednesday were) on Seacroft Caravan Club Site for 3 nights. As we are self contained and tend to stick together away from other people we felt safe on the site and when the local town got busy in the afternoons we headed back to the van for tea and cake.




Cromer has the feel of an old fashioned seaside resort, there is a pier without the obligatory amusement arcade but still housing a theatre for the end of the pier show. The Lifeboat also launches from the its own house tagged on the to the pier.




The beaches have a mix of large pebbles and sand , ideal for families especially those with dogs.





Some dogs were thoroughly enjoying jumping into the sea !


 Youngsters were crabbing off the end of the pier and having fun with the surf school , the atmosphere was very calm and relaxing without all the usual trappings that we normally find at our nearest east coast resort.



We would have liked to explore the town more but as I said, it got busy in the afternoon and we wanted to keep our distance but we will make a return trip when we can.



This campsite is now on the list of sites to revisit, plenty of places nearby to visit by bus or train if we don't want to take the van offsite.




My next post will be a crafty one, promise xx

What a lovely place! It's like something out of a Jane Austin novel. I just finished the Sanditon series on public TV so I have it on the brain at the moment.
