Mum & Dad's Trip to Norfolk 2013

Amethyst

Warren Veteran
Mum and Dad went to Norfolk last week. When I was young, we took family holidays here. On this trip they visited many places and even stayed in the holiday house we used to rent when I was a child. Our last family trip staying in Arch Cottage was in the summer of 1993. This album brought back many happy memories.

Burnham Market. This is the town we always stayed at on our summer holidays.

Burnham Market. There was an annual craft fair on the green here. I remember there was a little scruffy dog who pulled a tiny cart with jars of marmalade or jam. He was great and loved all the attention!

Sanderling House, Cley. I think we stayed here a few times when I was very very little.

Bircham Windmill. Dad and I once hired bicycles here and rode around the country lanes all afternoon.

Holme Beach. This is one of the beaches we went to all the time as children.

Holme Beach. The tide goes out a REALLY long way!

Holme Beach car park. There's a really long driveway to get here, then you park and walk up a sandy wooded path (just visible behind the motorcycle) to get to the beach. I haven't seen this view in 19 years.

Holkham Beach. This is the other beach we went to regularly as children.

Blakeney Quay. We tried crab fishing off the quay once, and were hopelessly unsuccessful!

Blakeney Quay. It's nice to see the children here doing exactly what I did as a child. :)

These places are like my second home :love: North Norfolk is where my parents lived, my sister was born and although I wasn't born there, we visit at least five times a year. Blakeney and Cley are such beautiful places, we always go there. Not so much Holkham or Burnham Market, although I went to the horse trials there a few years ago! :love:

Ooh just seen pics of Wells, my favourite place in Norfolk apart from Sheringham :love:

Arch Cottage, Burnham Market. This is where we stayed in 1991, 1992 and 1993. Mum and Dad stayed here just now, 20 years on from our last visit.

Arch Cottage, Burnham Market. The garden is more heavily planted than when we visited, and they installed a conservatory.
