Brush with the Broads…

Sunset Sunday

after ttwenty years we went back. We’d forgotten how much fun it was. How serene it can be. How peaceful and tranquil.

Here are some photographs which I hope convey the great time we had…

We went north from Kings Lynn - preferring the coast road to the A47

Wells-next-the-sea

the good ship 'Orion' - moored up near How Hill Nature Reserve

Headless in Horning - I'd lost my hat by now too!

Riverside gaffs - a lottery win and we'd move in ! Perfect.
