A lovely evening in Sheringham yesterday with a walk along the front, dinner in the brilliant The Crown and a show at the amazing Sheringham Little Theatre. And only a 15 minute drive from Cromer, also easy by train or bus. Life on the North Norfolk Coast is pretty good!

Called into the new Ikea in Norwich earlier, one of their new XS stores, a smaller unit with a focus on home-furnishing accessories. It was really packed with a huge queue at the checkout so it’s clearly popular

Apparently it’s still a legal requirement for pubs to display the prices of drinks but I can’t remember the last time I saw this being done. When did you last see a price list in a pub or bar?

We had a brilliant walk yesterday, taking the bus to Sheringham (and a quick wander around the market) and walking back to Cromer along the beach with a picnic along the way. #northnorfolk

Saw this lovely little seal earlier on Cromer Beach. Looked in good shape so we believe it was a juvenile left to fend for itself #cromer #seal

Hard to believe we’ve been in our motor home for six months today! Hopefully not for much longer but we’ve survived relatively unscathed and are still talking to each other! #vanlife #motorhoming

Visited Creake Abbey yesterday, a tranquil ruin with a sad history involving fire and plague #norfolkhistory

I discovered @lendwithcare a few years ago, a charity organising loans for struggling community projects and have supported a number of projects, never really expecting them to repay. I was wrong as every single one has repaid over time, like this one I was informed about today

Had an amazing evening at Sundown at The Grove, a giant tipi in their lovely grounds. We went for their tapas share board which was brilliant. Topped off by a stunning sunset on the walk home.
