Thursday 18th Woken at 1.20 a.m. by students talking in the street outside, didn't get much more sleep and Bruce got up at 5.45! After visiting the doctors today, we went to hire a car to drive to Norfolk to visit Aunty Nellie and my cousin Dianne, who were staying there on holiday.
We had a little trouble on the M25, should have got off one junction earlier, got held up in roadworks. We were surprised to find nobody at home when we arrived, they'd gone for a walk, thinking we'd get there a little later on.
Weybourne is an interesting place, and they were staying in a holiday home that used to be part of a Danish telecommunications
set up - an undersea telegraph cable had been laid all the way from Denmark to the UK some years ago.
The house is set in grounds that are now a nature reserve. Lots of migratory birds visit the area each year, and my aunt and cousin are keen bird-watchers.
We had an interesting walk to the stony beach and along the clifftop path. Bruce & I came back through the village, passing a windmill and various other interesting buildings on the way. We love the Norfolk style of building. Photos below: Honeysuckle Cottage and Ship Inn.
